How to Create a Narrated PowerPoint Presentation on a Mac with PowerPoint 2016

Are you looking for ways to enhance your presentations by adding narration? Creating a narrated PowerPoint presentation on a Mac can be done easily with Microsoft PowerPoint 2016. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a narrated PowerPoint presentation using PowerPoint 2016 on a Mac.

Before we begin, it is essential to note that Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 version 14.7.7 Update has been released, which includes fixes for vulnerabilities and stability improvements. This update also provides the latest fixes to Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 64-Bit Edition.

To start creating your narrated presentation, click on each speaker icon in your slide and go to the Audio Format tab. Select Start > Automatically so that the audio will start automatically when the slide opens.

One of the new features in PowerPoint 2016 is the addition of a speaker icon to each slide. To use this feature, click Yes to indicate that you want to save the slide timings. Once you have finished recording your narration, click End Show in the upper left corner.

If you make any mistakes during the recording process, you can easily rewind and re-record the narration for that particular slide by clicking on the rewind icon.

Unfortunately, PowerPoint 2016 for Mac does not support font embedding, a feature which is limited to Windows. However, this may not be a significant limitation as you can still use other methods to embed fonts in your presentation.

Another important note is that PowerPoint 2016 for Mac does not support saving presentations as videos. This means you will need to export your PowerPoint presentation to a video format such as MP4 or MOV before sharing it with others.

To convert your PowerPoint presentation to a video on Mac, follow these simple steps:

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation and go to the Slide Show tab.

2. Click Record Slide Show to start recording your narration.

3. Add your script to each slide in the notes.

4. Check After (leave number of seconds unchanged).

5. Once you have finished recording, click End Show.

That's it! With these simple steps, you can easily create a narrated PowerPoint presentation on a Mac with PowerPoint 2016. This feature is especially useful for presentations that require audio narration, such as video tutorials or educational content.

Additionally, PowerPoint 2016 is primed for use on tablets and phones, so you can swipe and tap your way through presentations on the go.
