  4. Next select the “FULL SCREEN” button on the next page, and then select record.

  5. Next you will see a countdown appear and your image in the corner. Select your PowerPoint and then position your webcam. You want to make sure you do not cover up any of your photos or text on each slide. You can also drag the edges of your image to make it larger or smaller. Next put your PowerPoint into slideshow mode. Then begin your presentation.
  6. If during your recording you need to pause, select the PAUSE button from the control panel below the video.
  7. If you would like to start your recording over, select CANCEL from the control panel. Selecting OK on the next screen will permanently delete your recording.
