# Recording Presentations and Videos

There is increasing interest in having students give oral presentations for assessment. Additionally, you may wish to record content for flipped classroom or other pedagogical needs. There are numerous ways to record presentations and videos. Here are two ways using tools that all Hollins students and faculty members have free access to use.

**Option 1: PowerPoint**

- For creating solo or team presentations using PowerPoint, please see this video: [https://www.loom.com/share/6d33baa11abb4b7eb867b8b967c3cd94](https://www.loom.com/share/6d33baa11abb4b7eb867b8b967c3cd94)
- For additional instructions on using the Cameo feature (to show both your image and the presentation), see this video: [https://www.loom.com/share/635298e1bde7439b908991a91c3f7a27](https://www.loom.com/share/635298e1bde7439b908991a91c3f7a27)

**Option 2: Teams**

How to Instantly Start and Record a Meeting in Microsoft Teams

3. In the top-right corner, click the “Meet now” button *(Sometimes labeled "Meet" or shown as a small camera icon depending on your Teams version)*

4. In the pop-up:

o Give your meeting a name (optional, e.g., *“Solo Presentation”*)

o Click “Start meeting”

*5.* A meeting window will open. You are now in a live meeting by yourself. (*Depending on your settings you may be asked to give permission or select camera/microphone information before entering.)*
