PowerPoint slides do not animate in Teams recording
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.
Thanks for replying. That's an interesting point you make. I suppose I assumed it was just a smoother, cleaner way to share a PowerPoint presentation allowing multiple presenters to share with ease and to host the window within Teams rather than trying to figure out which window to share. Perhaps it is intended for another purpose, but as you point out, it is not very clear if that is the case.
