PowerPoint from Office 365 *

If you have used Office Mix or Articulate in the past then you will be familiar with this recording method. You will start the recording and progress through the presentation as if you were presenting live. The audio will automatically be saved when you change to the next slide so you can move through your presentation fluidly without needing to stop each slide.
