SUMMARY

One very powerful option of the PowerPoint Presentation Broadcast feature is that you can record your broadcast for playback at a later date and time.
  • This feature allows you to overcome the 15 person limit on a live broadcast, by allowing viewers to play back the broadcast when they want.

    However, depending on your file server, this might slow it down, as these playback streams are separate and not served out by a Microsoft NetShow server.

  • This feature allows you to change the broadcast, or correct any mistakes that might have happened during the initial broadcast.

    However, you cannot re-record just one slide, you must start the session all over again to re-record it.

MORE INFORMATION

To record a presentation, follow these steps:
  1. On the Slide Show menu, point to Online Broadcast, and then click Setup and Schedule.
  2. Click Setup and Schedule a Broadcast, and then click OK.
  3. Click the Broadcast Settings tab.
  4. Set up the broadcast as you normally would. Then, click to select the Record this broadcast and save it at this location check box.

    If you plan to use this broadcast on a CD or for use on an Internet Web site, leave the Location box blank. If you want to specify a location, make sure it is one that can reached from all users on your intranet.

    Note If you try to specify a Web address, you receive the following warning:
    You cannot use an Internet Address here.
    Enter a path that points to a location on your computer or on the network.
    Only network or local computer locations are valid locations for storing broadcast recordings.
  5. Schedule your broadcast as usual.

    Note If you just want to record the broadcast, invite only yourself then set the time and date to only a few minutes away.
  6. If you plan to record the broadcast in step 5, start the broadcast and begin speaking immediately. Unlike a regular broadcast, you do not have to wait for the audience members to sign on.

    You do not have to do anything special while recording. PowerPoint automatically handles all of the tasks for you.
To playback the presentation broadcast, use the same URL you used in the initial broadcast, or open the Broadcast folder and double-click the Default.htm file. After the scheduled ending time for the presentation broadcast, a button labeled Replay Broadcast becomes available on the page. Click Replay Broadcast to start the recorded broadcast.

Note Terminal Server connections are not supported when you are running PowerPoint Online Broadcasting.
