Is there a way to self record your screen using Microsoft Streams or Teams?

stephanieserblowskiI am surprised that no one else has mentioned this but we use the Recording feature of PowerPoint to produce many of our videos (previously known as Office Mix).
No, it is not a full-blown video editing tool but it provides the ability to mix screen recordings, audio, video etc. synchronized with PowerPoint content (you can highlight areas of your video with ppt's text-boxes, as an example).
Also from a maintenance point-of-view, you can split your recording over a number of slides so that when content has to be changed, you do not have to reshoot the whole sequence
The video can then be published directly to Stream.... all from within a tool that most of us are using already.
Don't know if Microsoft is moving away from this by adding recording/editing features to Stream though??

Colin_83 - Microsoft isn't moving away from anything, just adding more tools to your toolkit for screen recording.
For PowerPoint Recording and publishing to Stream, Mike Tholfsen's Twitter post at https://twitter.com/mtholfsen/status/1239226905137569792?s=21 is a fast introduction. For a full how-to training, see this Microsoft course: https://education.microsoft.com/en-us/course/8ebc6daf/overview.
I second this. Most of my coworkers do not have access to Camtasia or the Adobe suite so I recommend PowerPoint as it's familiar and gets the job done. Colin_83
Colin_83 thanks so much! Your tip regarding maintenance is especially helpful as that's important with our training videos. We are constantly changing and updating content!
