Record and save a broadcast
If you want to broadcast your presentation with live video and audio, you must connect a video camera and microphone to your computer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use this procedure for recording a broadcast for small groups (fewer than 10 computers at a time); for information about broadcasting to larger groups, see the Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit Web site.

- Make any changes you want in the Record Presentation Broadcast dialog box. This information appears on the lobby page of your broadcast.
- Click Settings on the Record a Presentation Broadcast dialog box.
- On the Presenter tab, under File location, type the file location in the Save broadcast files in field.
- If necessary, change audio or video settings.

- If you do not want audio or video functionality, select None.
- Click OK to save broadcast settings.
Note These settings apply to all broadcasts from a particular computer, not just to the presentation you are preparing to broadcast. You should check these settings before broadcasting each time, to ensure that they reflect your preference for that broadcast session.
- In the Record Presentation Broadcast dialog box, click Record.
If you are using a microphone or video camera, tests will be performed automatically.
- When you are ready to record, click Start.
When the Microsoft Internet Explorer window appears with the title slide for your presentation, you can run the presentation as you would any other presentation. When you have clicked to exit the presentation, a message appears to confirm that you have recorded and saved the broadcast and the file location for the broadcast.
Notes
- You will not be able to see yourself in video display as you deliver a presentation, so be careful not to move from the position you were in during the video test or you may move out of camera range.
- When you want to others to view a recorded broadcast presentation, be sure it is placed in a shared location. You will need to send the link to the starting page and direct the audience to click Replay Broadcast on the lobby page to start the presentation.
