Add the Recording Tab to PowerPoint Not Working
Were you able to access the Recording Tab?
We have instructors at our University that have used Office Mix and now want this recording tab. We are using PowerPoint 16.0.4639.1000 and this feature is still not available.
Which version release should have this feature?
The only way we have been able to get this feature is to uninstall the enterprise version and then install from the faculty members Office 365 log on the O365 Office suite installation. Basically, this gives them the ability to have the Record Tab. The Enterprise version, which we install on all campus computers, does not have this feature or even ability to add it through the customize ribbon.

I added the ADMX / ADML files for Office 2016 two days ago, set the group policy, verified that the policy was applied by using gpresult, but still no recording toolbar on the Enterprise version. Is anyone else getting it to work?
Good Afternoon - this looks promising. I've just installed the Office ADMX files to my central store and configured the GPO. I've contacted the "Power" PowerPoint user for testing. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Thank you for the Update!!
Definitely going to share with our admin - thanks for sharing!
- Has anyone tried this yet?

The articles says it applies to Powerpoint 2016 as well as 365 so it could be a solution for those of us using Enterprise. - Thanks John. If I learn further I'll post here as well.
- If I hear of another way to do this process, I will let you know. It sounds as though until Microsoft changes, this is the way it will have to be done.
John Thank you for the update. We have the Enterprise version on our campus as well. The tab is not even hidden and available to add to the ribbon. The administration doesn't want to use O365 for managerial reasons which I am not privy. MS should have provided an alternative function before fully removing the feature. I appreciate your input.
