Video file of presentation – Please convert/save your presentation with video to an MP4 video file. If you are unsure how to do this, please let us know ‐ we have staff that can help.

Important: When recording your presentation, please be sure that the window/box of your video screen is large enough for viewers to see you. Before recording in Zoom, you can manipulate the size of the video of you speaking. You can make it larger and/or move it to the corner of your screen where it doesn’t overlap your slide content. If recording in PowerPoint, you can adjust the size and location of the video after recording, before converting to a video file.
