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.

Please, please fix this! I hate being forced to use my work laptop for school work and I can't believe that I can record myself on video for powerpoint on a cheapo Dell laptop and not a Macbook Air!

As a college professor heading to fall term in about a week, it would be super useful to have this feature. My Windows co-workers have it. To not have it when we are all on Office 365 (wasn't this supposed to put us all on the same version with the Mac and Windows?) seems like negligence. Or is Microsoft punishing those who aren't on Windows but are essentially forced into Office 365 by the institution.

Microsoft patting itself on the back for being late to the party again.
BTW, it's now September. When was that update coming? Soon?

It took me a long time to understand why the video was not showing in my power point (Mac). I then tried a HP laptop and the video worked. We need this tool for Mac.

Did this happen yet ? About to start a second online semester and this time my University wants our face in the presentations / lectures , not just the audio - it'd sure be nice not to have to download , and pay for , a second program just to do that...

K-12 schools have started or are starting, universities have started or are starting ... if you're going to tease a month ago about updating to have the right tools, it seems that time is getting short for anything to come of it that will be useful for the fall semester.

100% agree... just paid for the subscription... seems pretty poor to not have what seems a basic function for a Mac

We need this option now! I am preparing all of my lessons for school and due to the lack of this ability I've had to switch computers. I bought my Mac due to the awesome features. I am disappointed that Microsoft hasn't kept up with the technology.
