Recording and saving your video

If you're creating your first video, you'll most likely need to enable your camera. Learn how in the article on enabling your camera and troubleshooting in Prezi Video.

Before you start recording, you can add presenter notes at the top of the screen. With them, you can keep reminders on specific topics that you'd like to highlight in your video—you'll be the only one who sees them.

Once you've got your content and your notes ready, it's time to record your video. Hit the red button at the bottom of the screen to start. Here are a few pointers:

• Use the three icons in the bottom left corner to switch between different views—only you on the screen, you and your content on the screen, or only your content. You can also use the '1', '2', and '3' keys on your keyboard to switch accordingly.
• The arrows in the bottom right corner let you navigate to the next/previous page of your content.
• If you'd like to, you can pause your recording anytime. Click the Pause button at the bottom of the screen, and once you're ready to resume—click the same button again.
• Once you're done, click the Done recording button in the bottom right corner. You'll then be able to watch your entire video.
• If there's something you'd like to cut from the start or end of your video, you can trim it by selecting Trim in the bottom right corner.
• After you've applied the finishing touches to your video, click Save video. Give your video a title and a description, set the video's privacy settings, or download your video as an MP4 file by clicking Download.
