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.

    How?

  7. 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.

  8. In the Record Presentation Broadcast dialog box, click Record.

    If you are using a microphone or video camera, tests will be performed automatically.

  9. 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.
