About
Lecture Capture automatically detects PowerPoint slides displayed in Slide Show mode during a recording. Each slide is captured as an image and added as a chapter at the corresponding time stamp.
Viewers can use the chapters to jump to a specific slide or search for text in the slides.
Record PowerPoint slides
- Start recording.
- Open the PowerPoint presentation in Slide Show mode before or during the recording, and present your slides.

Each slide you present creates a chapter at the corresponding time stamp in the recording. Slides shown while the recording is paused aren’t uploaded.
- End the recording.
When the recording is complete, the slides are uploaded as images and added as chapters at their corresponding time stamps.
PowerPoint recording limitations
- If you use multiple screens, Lecture Capture captures slides only from the screen being recorded.
- If PowerPoint is open in Protected Mode, Lecture Capture can’t capture the slides. The following message appears: PowerPoint is running in protected mode - no slides will be captured. Click Enable Editing and create an identical PowerPoint presentation to use with Lecture Capture.
- PowerPoint Viewer isn’t supported.
View and edit recorded slides
Recorded slides appear as chapters in the player.
- Click a chapter to jump to the point in the recording where the slide was presented.
- Use the search box to search for specific words in the slides.

Use slides during a live broadcast
Lecture Capture streams only the primary input during a live broadcast. If a PowerPoint presentation is in Slide Show mode, the slides are converted to images and broadcast alongside the primary input, giving viewers a dual-stream experience.
