Screen Record Google Slides Tips

Google Slides presentation? Check. The screen recorder? Check. Now, you have everything you need, and it's time to record an engaging Google Slides presentation. To that end, keep in mind the following tips:

• Plan your presentation carefully: make sure you have a clear plan for your presentation, and know the key points that you wish to cover and the way to structure your slides.
• Use more visual elements: incorporate in your Google Slides more visuals or descriptive languages, such as images, charts, and diagrams, which could help illustrate and deliver what you are describing.
• Record in a quiet environment: Make sure you are recording in a quiet environment that is free from any background noise so that your presentation recording is clear and easy to understand.
• Use Presenter View: the Presenter view displays the slides to your audience in one window, and presents you with the speaker notes in a separate window.
• Review and Edit your recording: Review and edit the presentation recording before sharing it: trim the unnecessary parts, adjust the volume levels, and add captions if necessary.
