I am trying to do short presentations (3-5 slides) and would like my video (MacBook Air M2, if that's of help) in the corner, explaining what's on screen at the same time. The only audio would be from my headset or computer microphone.

Google Slides used to have the feature but I can't find it anymore. The easier the better (so recording once rather than recording the video, then overlaying it on the slideshow would be better).

Thanks!

You can do a local recording with zoom, you can have a meeting by yourself, share screen, and then position the camera where you want it, and record. when you finish the recording and the meeting, the file will be processed and saved on a local folder without doing anything else.

I consider that the easiest method.

Dont forget to say goodbye to yourself at least 6 or 7 times before ending the meeting.

Thanks, is that locally recorded audio and video? Or does it upload it?

Yeah, same thing with Teams on Microsoft, although Zoom does it better.

You can do this with PowerPoint. After recording it makes the video an object on your slide so you can position it anywhere. Different on each slide if needed.

I will get hate for this but you can do this with MS Teams.

Call yourself, present your screen, then record.

Thanks; will the quality be the same as if I recorded it locally? As in, will it take the video and audio from me, or from my uploaded call?

Thanks.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I am unsure, my guess would be the quality would be the ms server side as the video is stored in OneDrive.

I hate you so much.....aaaaarrrrgggg! You have angered me! /s

OBS does this extremely well. It would be the one I would go to.

Thanks, just trying out Zoom first since I already have it. I did a tester first which seemed good, then a longer video, but doesn't seem to have recorded properly...

Edit: damn, yeah OBS is definitely the best for it. It isn't so immediately friendly to try and get it set up, but once it's done it seems to be okay. Five minute video was only 50MB too, so that's pretty handy.

Keynote plus anything that floats your camera video on top of your screen?

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Does it have a record function? I've tried with the Mac's built in screen recording and I have no idea when it's actually doing anything.
