error occurred with Powerpoint recording
Hello Community, I have been trying to record a PPT presentation and the moment I stop the recording, this message pops up - "An error occurred with recording. Please try again." I have tried...
Is there any error message popup and logs, try take a look at Audio Device Drivers and Add-ins
Yes, the error message from PowerPoint is "An error occurred with recording. Please try again.". There are no problems with my audio drivers or my webcam drivers, all audio and video functions work fine with all other applications, including Microsoft Teams. It is just PowerPoint that has this incredibly stupid unreliability when it comes to inserting "Cameo" objects and using them to record your narration and webcam.
I'm using the latest version of PowerPoint (desktop) on the latest version of Windows 11. It took me hours and hours to trudge through recording my narration, one slide at a time, backing up when it failed, undoing and re-placing cameos, saving previous versions of the document manaully to go back to when it the error wouldn't stop, and eventually I got through it. I don't know how Microsoft lives with the amount of lost productivity they are responsible for.
