powerpoint will not let me record a slide to save as a video, I spoke with a Microsoft support tech for one hour and he had no idea how to troubleshoot

Hi @Vene, Anna [venea],

Thank you for posting your question to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

To assist you further, could you please confirm:

Which device you are using to record the slides (e.g., Windows PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone)?
Are you using a school-provided email (e.g., @schoolname.edu)? Or is it a personal email type (@hotmail, @gmail, @outlook.com).

This will help us better understand the context and provide more targeted support. Any additional information will help us better understand and support you.

Please note that presenting with Cameo is not available on iOS devices (iPhone or iPad). This feature is currently supported only in the PowerPoint desktop app for Windows and macOS and web app with a Microsoft 365 subscription.
