The PowerPoint window will then disappear and the application "under" Powerpoint will be visible. Also, you will notice a toolbar with 5 buttons at the top of the screen (with the possibility to record on the screen using the button in the bottom right corner).

3. Use the Select Area button (C) to select the rectangular area you want to capture (Powerpoint marks the area on the screen with a red dashed outline).

5. Press the Record button (A) to start the countdown from 3 after which recording will start. It is also possible to pause (A) and resume recording during recording. Either Win + Shift + Q keyboard combination or the second button will stop recording (B), the length of the recorded video is also shown here.

The completed video will be placed on the slide which you started recording on. In the context menu that appears when you right-click, you can save your recording to your computer in .mp4 format with Save Media as option.
