When I am in record mode to voiceover my slides, I need to set powerpoint to play (slideshow mode), which in turn makes it full screen, which then hides the Panopto controls. How can I see what the end viewer would see -eg my presentation with my video insert in the corner, whilst recording the audio? (photo of it working in slide view mode, but not in slideshow mode)
I found i had to first launch powerpoint into slideshow mode then select alt+tab to get back to panopto in the browser. Now when you select share screen you should see you slide show as an option. Next i choose to pop out my video (i think this only works in chrome) I then hit record and click back on my slideshow. I hope that helps :)
So the only way to create a video of composite sources that switches during the video (eg powerpoint plus a pre-recorded video), would be to record it sectionally and then combine? Are there instructions for this please?
To create a PowerPoint presentation from R Markdown, you specify the powerpoint_presentation output format in the YAML metadata of your document. Please note that this output format is only available in rmarkdown >= v1.9, and requires at least Pandoc v2.0.5. You can check the versions of your rmarkdown package and Pandoc with packageVersion('rmarkdown') and rmarkdown::pandoc_version() in R, respectively. The RStudio version 1.1.x ships Pandoc 1.19.2.1, which is not sufficient to generate PowerPoint presentations. You need to either install Pandoc 2.x by yourself if you use RStudio 1.1.x, or install a preview version of RStudio (>= 1.2.633), which has bundled Pandoc 2.x.
The default slide level (i.e., the heading level that defines individual slides) is determined in the same way as in Beamer slides (Section 4.3.2), and you can specify an explicit level via the slide_level option under powerpoint_presentation. You can also start a new slide without a header using a horizontal rule ---.
