PowerPoint Add webcam and microphone options to "Record Silde Show" experience
The narration recording function is good but the actual face of the presenter cannot be videoed via the webcam on mac. This is available on the windows version and it seems an odd function to leave off the mac version as this is so widely used. It is really complicated, time consuming and potentially expensive to get this to work on mac due to having to purchase additional hardware/software.

Why no solutions for the camera missing button on apple for the PPT 365 ? It is urgent to find a solution as fast as possible now. Microsoft 365 arrived in Juanary 2020 we are in Nov

It is urgent that you provide mac users with the facility to webcam record on power point - with the switch to online teaching this is a crucial omission. Please update.

When is this feature of recording the actual face of the presenter coming up? It is very disappointing that this feature is not available on mac.

October 2020 and still waiting for that update on webcam recording for powerpoint! How much longer do Mac users have to wait to be treated right by MS?

Yet another update for all the apps in Office 365, with some unnecessary new UI for Outlook. Of course, it's switched off as the new features do not add value nor impact. But still no video and pointer in PPT recording. Just totally awesome how MS permanently ignores the Mac users.

Just settled down to record a presentation for a conference (switched to online due to covid-19). I am astonished that powerpoint for mac doesn't have the webcam feature! Such a let-down!
So many comments below are pleading for this, and given the current situation I would have though this would be a priority for powerpoint developers right now – you're really falling behind the competition here. I teach at university and online teaching is the norm now and likely to continue to be for sometime. Please fix this asap! -

It has been One Year and 2 months since Simon Holmes share this idea. How much longer do you think you it will take before we can get the upgrade?

It is so very disappointing that Microsoft continues to ignore our pleas and treat MacOS users as second class customers. So, let's all shout loudly PLEASE HELP US to deliver the education that our students, our future generations rightly deserve during this challenging period.

not sure why but students like to see their teacher's face as well as hear their voice. Would be really useful as so many have to self isolate and access their lessons from home
