PeteHeibel After pondering this, it seems that the way the slides are sharing is a different mechanism than the old way, which was just sharing your screen or window. The name "PowerPoint Live" is probably the cue that it works for live presentations, but is not suitable for recording the sessions for later viewing. Not sure that it is really a bug that can be fixed. I think it is a limitation for the tool and we just need to choose how we are going to share a slideshow based on if it is live only or if it must be recorded. I feel like they should have explicitly stated this, but I suppose the "live" part of the name is supposed to imply that. Lesson learned. It is a nice feature for live only.

Hi,

Thank you for the key to my problem about my animations not happening on recording. Please can you tell me how to ensure I do the recording on 'presenter view' so that my animations all happen. Teams always pops up now as 'PP live' - how to alter that?

Many thanks,

Janet

Janet1912 Hi. I had this same issue. Instead of using the 'PowerPoint Live' presenter mode. I instead chose 'share window' and selected the open PowerPoint presentation, you can still do presenter mode etc.
