4. Share your Screen.
- You may open your PowerPoint slide for screen sharing (don’t forget to keep visible)
- Start a new meeting with no other attendees in Zoom.
- Make sure your video is on and your microphone is not muted.
- Select Share Screen, begin screen sharing and start slide show in PowerPoint.
- Click and drag the video box to the upper right corner of your screen. Your face must be visible at all times during your presentation.

5. Start Recording.
- Your recording can be saved to your computer.
- Zoom will save the .mp4 video file to your local computer. By default, the recordings are placed in the documents folder on your computer.
- To begin recording select “Record” in the Zoom menu.
- To find the recording option when screen sharing is on, simply hover over “You are screen sharing” at the top of your screen.
- A menu will pop down, hover over more to display more options and select “Record.” A little red recording dot will appear beside “You are screen sharing.”

6. Begin your presentation.
- Remember that your presentation begins when you start speaking and is timed.
- When you are finished, stop screen sharing, stop recording, and end your meeting.
- After ending your meeting, Zoom will automatically convert your recording to .mp4 and save the file to your computer.
HOW TO UPLOAD RECORDING TO YOUTUBE
- You may upload .mp4 files directly into YouTube (you will need a Google/YouTube account to do this).
- You may opt to leave your presentation unlisted in YouTube, but it must be viewable with the link you provide at sign-up and must remain live through the end of the competition.
- Please be sure to check the automatic closed captioning in YouTube several hours after uploading and edit as necessary. Instructions for editing captions in YouTube are here.
Note: URCAF is not able to provide assistance or troubleshooting for video recording, alternative instructions for recording, or assistance with editing. If you’re having trouble, the Media Resource Center has excellent Zoom tutorials.
If you need a space or equipment to record a video, resources are available through University Libraries.
