How to Upload PowerPoint to YouTube | PPT to YouTube

In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how to upload a PowerPoint presentation to YouTube. We start with enabling the recording tab so you can prepare your PowerPoint for uploading. You'll learn how to add narration, a video of yourself, and custom slide timings. Next, we look at how to insert screenshots or a screen recording. You'll also learn how to insert background music that plays across all your slides. Finally, we render the video and create a thumbnail for your video directly in Microsoft PowerPoint. At the end, we upload to YouTube and see that the video is live.

This was very helpful and you did it in less than 12 minutes! I use PP to make videos and learned a few things from you and can now use tools to make student-directed learning easier. You share information in a clear, concise, non-condescending way. I appreciate you.

I am a beginner I thank God I found your tutorial very well explained. Being a senior it is not easy to learn new things especially on technology. Thank you and you are a great teacher.

Thank you for making this video I have used PowerPoint for several years especially as a trainer. I'm also part of the clergy at my workplace and at my church. This video gives me the opportunity to reach out further to people without me doing a lot of head scratching thank you.

Thanks, Kevin. I have discovered a lot of this on my own, mainly by exploring things you suggested in other videos. However I didn't realize there was a Record tab with everything I need in one place. This is a game changer for me. I really appreciate it!

I love all your videos...they make me look great at work 😁 Thank you for this specific topic...I enjoy conducting interactive training sessions and these are amazing tools!

How fantastic Kevin. Yes I’m planning on doing exactly as you’ve outline. What a gem you are

[walktalkwithmarlene]

Thanks, Kevin. You just resolved an issue I'm currently working on and the final product is due tomorrow. I will come back for more of your fabulous training. Thanks again!

I enjoyed about 1 1/2 years of personal training at a Microsoft Store until COVID ended that. During my training the staff taught me to make videos on PPT. Thanks for the refresher. It's the only way I make videos.

This is a great content as always and very informative for those who want to record a video from the powerpoint and upload it on youtube. Thanks for sharing your expertise Mr. Kevin.

Absolutely Loved It! I will be doing this method instead of making a video, because I am a new inventor and I'd like to make a 30-second video for my product. After looking into what it takes, and doing a little bit of video production. I say This is the way🙏
Most importantly this method allows me to make my vision a reality. Thank you sir 💪

[CecereHomestead]

This is a great way to get started on YouTube! Before I bought a camera I created my first few videos this way. If want to see a "finished product" feel free to hit me up! Love Kevin!

Great video. I frequently use PowerPoint 2013 in some of my videos. Using the Transitions and the Animations tabs are also fun to use when creating a video. I had an employee who was surprised when I told about using PP as a video creation tool.
