Adding Slides, Notes and Labels

Add slides to your recording


Before starting your new recording, you can add slides to it.  This will enable you to mark out where slides change during your lecture.

Click the 'Import Slides' button and browse to the file.  Please note, you can only insert slides in a PDF format, so you would need to convert any PowerPoint files beforehand.

Once you have started the recording you will be able to mark slide changes.  Click the 'Post Next Slide' button when the slide changes in your lecture.  This will synchronise the audio to the slides.
