Wondering if there are any magical ways to turn your boring Google Slide presentations into exciting video presentations?

We’ve got your back!

In this post, we'll teach you how to turn your boring slide presentations into exciting video presentations (with voice-overs, music overlay, and subtitles).

Let's get started.

How to Turn Your Google Slide Presentations into Engaging Videos?

We will be taking you through this process with the help of a user-friendly and budget-friendly screen recorder called Vmaker. Since it records both screen and webcam effortlessly, you can record your presentation with your voiceover, export it as an MP4 video, and upload it to YouTube instantly.

Now, without any further ado, let's see how it's done.

Step 1: Sign up & launch Vmaker

Sign up for Vmaker and download the application to your device. The application is currently available for download in four versions - as a Windows screen recorder, Mac screen recorder, iOS screen recorder (beta version), and Chrome plug-in. You can choose a version that's compatible with your device.

Sign up for Vmaker

As soon as you've downloaded Vmaker to your device, you can double-click on the application, give the necessary permissions, and open the application.

You will see a pop-up box like the one shown below.

Choose your preferred recording mode

Choose your preferred recording mode, recording quality, and audio inputs.

Note: Since you're recording your voiceover, it would be nice to show your face in the presentation. So, make sure you choose the screen + webcam recording mode.

When you're ready to record, click on the Start Recording button in the pop-up box. A timer starts indicating the recording is about to start.

Step 2: Record the presentation in slideshow mode

Now, you can open your presentation, and run it as a slideshow with your voiceover.

If you're running a Google slide presentation, you can click on the 'SlideShow' option in the top right corner of your screen.

You can also make use of screen annotation tools while recording the presentation to grab the attention of your viewers. Just click on the brush icon on the left-hand side of your screen, and choose the colour you’d like to annotate on.
