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!

    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.

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

      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.
