How to record your Google Slides presentation:

Using the Loom Chrome extension is an effective way to record your Google Slide presentation. You can choose to record with, or without, your camera.

1. Open your Google Slides deck, launch the Loom extension and select Screen + Camera and Full Desktop for your recording settings. 

   

2. Hit Start Recording, then in the top right of your Google Slide page, you'll see Present. Click Present to move into full-screen presentation mode.

   

3. From here, you can present through your slides, as you usually would in a meeting, then once you're finished, simply press the green tick to end your recording.

4. Your video will then process to your Library for you to share or download your recorded presentation.

How to record your Powerpoint or Keynote presentation:  

When using PowerPoint or Keynote presentation we suggest using the desktop app as this allows you to record with your camera bubble across any application.

1. Open your presentation slides from your preferred application.

2. Then open the desktop app and select Screen and Camera with Full screen as your capture mode settings.

3. Once ready, hit Start recording, then launch your Powerpoint or Keynote presentation into Full-Screen Presentation mode.

4. Record your slides as normal and once you're done, click to end the recording.

5. Your video will then process to your Library - from here we suggest you trim your recording so your viewer doesn't see the first few moments while you were setting up. Here's how to trim your Loom recording.
