Tips on how to create a video or a slideshow with narration
To create a video or a slideshow with narration you can search on the Internet to find the best way that fits your situations. Here we also provide some tips.

Tip 1: You may use Zoom (recommended.): you can start a Zoom Meeting with only yourself and record the meeting into an MP4 file. See howto.

Tip 2: You may use a desktop recording software to create an MP4 file. The latest Mac and Windows have standard methods for that purpose. See how to do it on Mac or on Windows 10, or you can search on the Internet to find others.

Tip 3: You may use Powerpoint to create a slideshow with narration, see Microsoft’s document. Notice that this method is not recommended since Powerpoint files depend on the version, OS and fonts hence may not be shown exactly the same way as what you see.

Of course you can use other methods as well. Furthermore, you may consider to use a video-editing software for better effect (e.g., to meet the time limit). Just for an example, OpenShot is a free video-editing software.
