British Thoracic Society Winter Meeting 2021 Online: 24th – 26th November 2021
How to use Microsoft Teams to Self-Record Presentations
Note: We would recommend using the Stream module within MS Teams (see instructions
on Resource Centre) instead of the below method, as the recording images are better.
However, please feel free to proceed with the below if this is not an option for you, or
your presentation is longer than 15 minutes.
Setting up the meeting
1. Open Microsoft Teams from a browser or the app. (Please note from a browser, only
Google Chrome or the latest version of Microsoft Edge will allow screen sharing. Mac
users may be prompted to change privacy settings to screen share).
2. Click on Calendar and then the meet now option to start a
video call. Then select start meeting.
3. You will now see an option to join now. Before you join, be sure to check that your
preferred device settings are selected for audio and video input – see below.
• Check the audio icon and video indicates audio and video are on - a line through
the icons means they are off.
4. Click on join now when you are ready to start.
To share your screen & start the recording of your presentation
We strongly advise you to complete the following steps with a test recording to check that
you are happy with the video and sound quality and can comfortably share your screen.
1. Navigate to your desktop and open your PowerPoint slides or PDF that you wish to
narrate over.
