# How can I transform my PowerPoint into a YouTube video?

Right now, I use Camtasia to record my PowerPoint and my audio to create training.  I would love to do that directly in PowerPoint.  Although there appears to capability to do that, I have not used it.   It doesn't look like I can get the quality and editing of Camtasia.

In Power Point, the narration, animation, pointer movements, intervals, etc. are saved in the presentation itself, i.e. the presentation becomes a video that the audience can watch in PowerPoint. To convert the presentation into a video, you have two alternatives: 
1.- Save or export the presentation to a video file format with the extension MP4 or wmv.
2.- Save the presentation as a PowerPoint presentation file (.ppsx). so that it appears in full screen in the presentation with slides, ready for immediate view, without editing possibility.

Now, to Publish the PowerPoint presentation as a video on YouTube, where other users can view and share it. This is a good way to distribute information to keep track of who is watching the presentation. Posting the slideshow video to YouTube is one of the easiest ways to stay online for free.

In PowerPoint, create a video file (file. mp4 or .wmv) of the slideshow, as indicated above, then log in with your YouTube account. Next step, click upload and then select the file you want to upload. Enter a title, description, and the tags you want to add to the video.

Other settings are available for the video, . For example, you can select a category and choose whether you want the video to be public or private. At the end of the configuration, click on Publish and wait for the file to complete the upload and it will be available for viewing.
