Are you looking for ways to record presentations on Zoom? This passage will help you learn how to record a presentation on Zoom directly or try other methods, such as screen recorders.

Part 1. How to Record a Zoom Presentation Directly

How to record a Zoom presentation directly? Let's take local recording as an example. Only the host can easily set up a Zoom local recording. Meanwhile, the following points also deserve your attention.

1️⃣For local recording, if another participant wishes to record a presentation on Zoom, the host needs to grant authorization to that member during the meeting.

2️⃣The host needs to designate an alternate host. Similarly, if a member has scheduling privileges for you, he/she will automatically join as an alternate host and initiate the recording.

3️⃣Please open or import your PPT slides before the Zoom presentation process.

4️⃣You'd ensure your webcam and microphone is on. Otherwise, your Zoom recording will have no audio.

Step 1. Please open the Zoom application, click Settings > select Recording > activate your Local recording.

Part 2. Other Ways to Record a Presentation on Zoom

In addition to Zoom, you can learn how to present a PowerPoint on Zoom with reliable third-party screen recording software or built-in Microsoft PowerPoint features.

Option 1. Record a Presentation on Zoom via EaseUS RecExperts

Without a doubt, Zoom's excellent recording features enable all Zoom users to present, record, and share a PPT on Zoom. However, Zoom is a professional video conferencing platform, unlike screen recording software like EaseUS RecExperts.

Firstly, desktop users cannot record presentation on Zoom with voice/face because there is no camera or microphone. Secondly, a poor Internet connection might undermine the recording quality. Thirdly, Zoom does not support distinct video or screen-share tracks, which limits your editing flexibility.

So why not give EaseUS RecExperts a shot? As a Zoom alternative, this top-tier screen recording software can overcome the above shortcomings and deliver a significantly improved experience for all Zoom users.

  • Offer video/audio editing, video/audio file import, microphone noise reduction, etc.
  • Export the video in the MP4, MOV, FLV, MKV, AVI, or GIF file format with a high quality. 

Step 1. Go to the meetings that you want to record. Then, launch EaseUS RecExperts on your devices. Choose the "Full Screen"  recording mode or select the recording area in the "Region" mode.

Notice:
Though you can trim your video via this tool, you can only enjoy one editing feature.

Step 2. Select the area you want to present a PPT on Zoom. If you want the entire recording, press Win + Shift + F.
