PowerPoint slides do not animate in Teams recording
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.
- I have just recently experienced the same thing. PowerPoint Live within MS Teams has not been reliable for my previous training sessions. We require those who couldn't attend to review the recording, so naturally I am stuck wasting time editing the recording.
It appears that the recording reveals all animated objects at once (as it would appear in the PowerPoint file) although attendees could see the animations just fine during the call. I've submitted this as a bug to MS Teams, but for now, I'm going to return to sharing Presenter View during Teams meetings.
CalebBadley I just experienced the same thing. Used the new PowerPoint Live feature for multiple live Teams webinar sessions and recorded the sessions for staff who were unable to attend, only to find that slides with animations were not captured as displayed, but as the whole mess all at once, like the slides look when not in presentation mode.
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!).
