Voice over PowerPoint Presentations

How to Record Voiceover Narration in PowerPointIf you’re sending out your presentation instead of giving it in front of an audience, but you feel adding a vocal explanation would better help to deliver the message, record a voiceover narration. Here’s how to do it.

Faculty must ensure all videos published with the intention of embedding them into their course for student view are ADA compliant. Regardless of the system you choose to produce the videos, please follow the Making your videos ADA Compliant with Closed Captioning for your course procedure to publish them on Moodle. Once you have created your recording, please follow the three steps below on how to convert a voice over PowerPoint presentation to .MP4 format and ultimately to YouTube to create ADA, Closed-Captioning compliant recordings.
