PowerPoint slides do not animate in Teams recording
Hello,
I have recorded a presentation with lovely animations, but when I play it back, the animations haven't happened 'on the click' as I had intended. Instead the presentation just plays with the full page with all pictures/icons on screen right from the start.
Also, I have pressed 'enable computer sound' before uploading and recording, but the sound has not come through on the recording at all.
Will be grateful for any help you can give please,
Janet

Lots of people are agreeing here with the requirement, please take the time to vote for the feature on the feedback portal to help get Microsoft's attention.
This looks like a sensible feature request - Allow recording with capture whiteboards, annotations, shared notes or content shared in the stage view by apps, and also won't include videos or animations embedded in PowerPoint Live presentations. · Community (microsoft.com)
Feedback portal is also where you'll hear feedback from Microsoft. When I last spoke with the PPT Live product teams they were well aware of all these issue, so probably just need our help to prioritise the work to develop it.
Had to do a complex technical training so spent days preparing slides that I could step through and incrementally introduce concepts to build off one another, all the while pointing to the concepts I was discussing with the cursor. The people in the meeting could see all this but the recording couldn't so the video is next to useless as a reference they can come back to now. VERY ANNOYING
- Just here to say that as of March 2023, this is still an issue and a major failure. This seems like a significant bug in the Teams product. At the *very least* it's a massive and undocumented violation of user expectations.
Does anyone know if Microsoft is considering resolving this issue yet? I tested once again, but the animations still don't translate to the recording.
I had the same problem, but I managed to record a presentation with the transitions effects to be seen when played back. I did not use the PowerPointLive option in the sharing option, but shared my screen instead, having the slides in the background open, I maximised PowerPoint and started the presentation.
It took a bit longer but for the sake of the transition effect it was worth it, I then trimmed the video at the end.
hope that helps
- Just so I'm clear, when you say you have recorded a presentation - do you mean you have made a video of you delivering the slide deck?
Or are you running through the slide deck whilst sharing your screen in a teams meeting?I held a training session with 45+ people in attendance. I walked the participants through a PowerPoint presentation with animations. Nothing fancy here, just text boxes, arrows, and pictures that popped up and then hid on next mouse click. I've confirmed with the participants that they saw the animations as I intended during the live presentation. However, the recording does not show animations and instead only shows the full slide, which without animations is impossible to read and understand. In addition to Teams not recording as I actually presented, it doesn't show any of the chat history from the recording either.
Are there settings that I am not aware of within Teams to address this issue? I am upset because this was a very big training event with intentions of all new hires watching this recorded training, but as it's recorded now it won't be usable.Please help.
Just to at least assure you that you are not alone. My presentation looks very flat without the animations which I played to the audience! Can someone help us please as this must be a regular expectation, that our recordings reflect the live session.
Hi Peter - yes, not within an actual Teams meeting - just me talking through the slide deck, recording it, and then hoping that I would have a training session ready to post (with the carefully prepared animations and sound though!).
