Quick Summary
Create your presentation
With your microphone and optional webcam ready, choose to "Record Slide Show" and create your presentation
Save As/Export your video as a movie - this export will take longer than simply saving the presentation
Add the resulting file wherever you can add text in Sakai with the blue Echo360 button
The guides below suggest you "Publish", stop at this point. Instead, Save As/Export as a video is preferred because the outcome is a video file on your device you can upload.
1. Record and Save your presentation as a video
Note that it will first be necessary to create slides with Powerpoint.
The Save As/Export process is different on Mac and PC.
2. Save or Export a Powerpoint video to your computer
Videos saved using an MP4 format are preferred.
3. Uploading the Video to Brightspace.
There are many locations where video can be added through Echo360. Wherever there is the ability to add text, you can add your PowerPoint video.
Clicking the Embed Echo360 Media button within the text editor's options will allow you to begin uploading your video.
