How To Save A PowerPoint As A Video? Detailed Guide For PC & Mac

PowerPoints are powerful tools that can influence your audience, so it is important that you can share the presentation in as many media as possible. Luckily, PowerPoint has an option to save the presentation as a video so that you can change it from a static, boardroom delivery to a more dynamic, shareable production.

Use Cases

Saving a PowerPoint as a video offers you incredible opportunities when it comes to sharing information on your product, service, or for training. You only have a few seconds to get the attention of your audience, and video is one of the best ways to do that. The following are just a few of the many use cases for saving a PowerPoint as a video:

  • Uploading to YouTube to reach a broader audience
  • Sharing on your website as a marketing tool
  • Sending via email to employees who missed the seminar
  • Posting on social media to increase page subscriptions
  • Creating training videos packed with pertinent information
