Recording PowerPoint slides


Recording PowerPoint slides enables viewers to easily navigate through a video by jumping to a specific slide, or by searching for text in the slide. Admins can configure Kaltura Capture to include automatic slide detection. 

Kaltura Capture can record any displayed PowerPoint Slides during the recording. Slides are added as chapters with their time stamp as part of the recording. 

To record PowerPoint Slides as part of the Kaltura Capture Recording
  1. Start Recording.
  2. Open the PowerPoint presentation in Slide Show mode before or during the recording and present the slides.

    Each PowerPoint slide you use during the recording creates a chapter in the recording. Slides shown when recording is paused are not uploaded. 
  3. End your recording.

When the recording is completed, the slides are uploaded as images and are set to chapters at their designated time stamps in the recording. 

Limitations
