    To export a PowerPoint as a video:

    1. Open the presentation and select File > Save first.
    2. Go to File > Export > Create a Video.
      • In some versions, the Recording tab also has Export to Video.
    3. Choose a video quality:
      • Ultra HD (4K)
      • Full HD (1080p)
      • HD (720p)
      • Standard (480p)
    4. Choose whether to use Recorded Timings and Narrations.
      • If no timings were recorded, PowerPoint uses 5 seconds per slide by default.
      • That value can be changed in Seconds to spend on each slide.
    5. Select Create Video.
    6. Save the file.

    Useful notes:

    • PowerPoint can save the presentation as .mp4 or .wmv.
    • Animations, transitions, narration, and laser pointer movements can be included in the video.
    • Viewers do not need PowerPoint installed to watch the exported video.
    • Video creation can take longer for large presentations or presentations with media.

    For the Windows Security / docs.live.net prompt: the provided material does not include a documented fix for that sign-in prompt. If the presentation is stored in OneDrive, saving a local copy first and then using File > Export > Create a Video is the closest supported path in the available material.

    Hi!

    Your PowerPoint file is likely linked to OneDrive, and a synchronization issue or a corrupted OneDrive token is causing this error. First, confirm whether the file is in OneDrive:

    • Close your presentation > right-click on it > Properties > Under "Location," check if there is a folder named OneDrive (or send me the path and I will check).
