Export to Video with audio narrations included
This seems to be something thats been voted upon, and had been "completed". However, there is not a hint of the narration in the exported video. Please add!!

Thank you for voting this request! If you are an Office 365 subscriber, you may now export your presentation to a video with a playback of the narration audio! Please upgrade to version 16.19(181109) or higher, and give it a try.
Again, thank you for helping us improve the product, and please keep voting the other features on your wish list :)

Still not working as of 12/22! Please fix this! It is ludicrous that this isn't a default feature on the Mac version!

I'm sorry to contradict the Product Manager's status update, but this feature still doesn't work on a Mac as of mid-November 2019. From the comments below, it appears that I am not the only one struggling with this. I have the most updated version of everything and have been using PowerPoint for many years (i.e., this is not a user issue). I've admittedly spent a great deal of time, money, and other valuable resources working around these unacceptable limitations. We pay a lot for Office 365. Please ensure full Mac functionality for this product!

This is the work around I used: I recorded the ppt in fullscreen using screen casting software (snagit 2020 - free trial for 15 days). Just make sure you record with audio. Your mac also has screen casting ability (at least on Catalina) but it doesn't capture audio (at least I couldn't figure it out in the 10 minutes I had to mess with this). For that, you could record using snagit and then open the mp4 in imovie and add your audio file to that.

The Product Manager for Office.com is a liar.

It still doesn’t work with version 16.30 with embedded audio. Am on Mac. I tried exporting to both mp4 and mov but no luck, no audio. This is very inconvenient. If I can get a trial on a PC will it work?
I've already wasted so much time - -

Hi:
I am using Power Point 16.29 on a Mac and it will not export the audio when the file is converted to a mp4 file :/ Is there any other way I could make this work?! Thank you. -

Why can't sounds added to animations play when exported to mp4 on a Mac. It works fine on a PC?

Is there really no way to save with audio! This is crazy. Any other app that can convert? Why am i paying for this? Won't be, moving forward

Yes, please fix! I built my eLearning deck in Powerpoint for Mac assuming that when I exported to video the audio would be included - but not so. Very frustrating!!! Equally frustrating is that you can do that on a PC, but not on a Mac. When will Mac users no longer be treated by Microsoft as second-class citizens?
