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.

Woo hoo! This one is also in progress and coming up via an update. Thanks for your patience. Remote learning has become incredibly important and we want to make sure you all have the right tools to succeed.

It works in powerpoint for Windows. It should work in powerpoint for Mac too! Now, with COVID19 it is a very useful feature to be implemented.

Bad way of selling the product favoring only one group of users

Very upset that I can't record my final year university project on my Mac because of this intolerable oversight on Microsoft's part.

I don't know why you don't have the same Screen Recording feature in Powerpoint for Mac. I use it a lot and now I have to buy 2 licenses 1 fo mac and 1 for Windows

Please add this feature. I'm unable to complete university tasks without the ability to incorporate my camera recordings into my presentations. Not sure why this wasn't included as is with Windows.

click and done on the Microsoft ThinkPad. I am 100% devoted to Macs. Please make video recording available for PPTX show records on Apple computers. It is more urgently needed now that remote presenting is the standard. Many thanks!

I can't understand why you do have this feature in Windows and you don't have it in MacOS. I hope Microsoft soon solves this incomprehensible difference.

I completely agree with what has been said here, especially during these times. It would be great if something could be done.

At a time when we are trying to prepare online teaching resources as a result of a global pandemic, this feature would be very useful!

I echo the previous comments. Video would be a very useful addition to many of our online lectures and it is very frustrating to not have this feature in Mac. I am teaching medical students and residents and they are relying on the best possible digital teaching resources that we can provide for them. I have spent a lot of time mastering animation techniques in PowerPoint on PC and Mac but now that I am working mostly from home on my Mac (plus most of my students have Macs) these deficiencies in actually recording and viewing the presentations are becoming very obvious and frustrating! Please address ASAP!
