This feature can be used to maintain privacy or to make the powerpoint presentation environment more professional or engaging.

Step 3. Open presentation materials. Open the materials you plan to use in your presentation and close anything you won't use (safeguarding your privacy and guarantee the smooth of your recording). If you don't mean to use something right away, minimize its window until you're ready.

Step 4. Share Presenting Content. Hit Share Screen. Make sure the screen window size you want to capture: full or part and click Share. If you plan to bounce around from item to item, sharing your desktop is a good option.

Step 5. Capture a Presentation on Zoom now. Click More in the toolbar to expand the hidden list and choose "Record on this computer" or "Record to the Cloud" option. The only difference lies in the final recording file storage place. A blinking indicator in the top left of the session indicates when you are recording.

Note 1: Privacy and Consent. Same to zoom meeting recording, capturing zoom presentation videos also requires consent. Always inform participants before recording. It's respectful and, in many jurisdictions, legally required to notify or obtain consent from people before recording them.

Note 2: Zoom Versions. You'd better upgrade Zoom to the latest version before you go, cuz the exact steps and features available might vary slightly in different Zoom versions and subscription level.

Generally, you can smoothly capture a presentation video on Zoom after following the above steps irrespective of host or participant. Yet, the presentation recording time you need to concern, as well. Paid accounts have allowed recording zoom video durations up to 24 hours while free (basic) accounts are limited to 40-minute meetings for groups of three or more participants.

Thus, if you free user is meant to present a powerpoint slideshow more than 40 minutes, you're suggested to try Zoom alternatives, including Google Meet, Cisco Webex (up to 24 hours duration) or Jitsi Meet (no time limit on meeting). And if you don't want to use the alternatives' built-in recording feature (because of the annoying host's permission), you can resort to the 3rd party presentation video recorder software like Winxvideo AI to capture a presentation video with face in 1080p, 4K 2160p with MP4, MOV, etc. modern format, no time limit or watermark.
