Before Video Recording Yourself Presenting a PowerPoint

📌Why do you need to record a video of a PowerPoint presentation?

Rehearsal and Self-evaluation	Feedback
Recording yourself presenting a PowerPoint can be an effective way to rehearse your presentation. It offers you a good chance to watch how you are making your presentation, such as pacing, voice modulation and body language. Hence, you can identify areas where you need to make adjustments and practice your delivery until you feel confident presenting your material. Also, you can identify your strengths and find a feasible way to enhance them.	Sharing your recording with others allows you to collect feedback on your presentation. This feedback can come from colleagues, mentors or even friends and family, which can help you improve your presentation based on their constructive criticism and suggestions.
Video Tutorials	Accessibility
The recorded presentations can be used as materials for your video tutorials for future reference. You can edit it to boost its quality or add text to it to help your content be better understood.	Recording your presentation can make it accessible to others absent from your live presentation. This can be particularly useful if you need to reach a wider audience or if you intend to share your presentation with colleagues unable to attend your live presentation.
