With your presentation open in PowerPoint, be sure to set up a microphone on your computer. You can use a plug-in, your headphones, or your built-in mic. Then, come up to the Slide Show tab on PPT’s ribbon.

There, click Record, and you’ll see the Recording menu open. Click the red Record button, and begin narrating. Navigate through your slide deck using the arrow keys on your keyboard. And don’t forget to add cool annotations using the highlighter and pen features down at the bottom.

Finished? Press Record again, and your slides are ready to share with the world.

Need audio on a single slide? Go to the slide, then find the Insert / Audio option. Click it, then choose Record Audio. Click Record again, and start speaking. This is a great way to narrate an individual slide.
