asked on

Need to display myself in a video, but off to the side.

Placing a video of me on the side of a presentation.

I have seen this done with great effect. The person leading a presentation has slide after slide and can appear in the corner or center, at will. That person is the speaker and the one leading the pitch.

Please explain how this works?

I always thought you'd need a green screen behind you to make that work, but apparently not.

I would use PowerPoint on a Mac.

Thanks

I am surprised you need to convert the powerpoint to video. That's a great idea and solves the problem for me.

But, only a few weeks ago, I saw a project manager super-impose his live video image over Jira as we discussed our daily SCRUM.

What technology was that?

I know you've accepted an answer, but it seems that my response didn't appear so I'll put it in here for future reference.

You can do this in PPT directly if you have an Office 365 subscription. On the Recording tab, click Record Slide Show. PPT will open the file full-screen with various tools enabled. Click Settings in the upper right corner to turn on your camera if it's not on by default.

If you don't see the Recording tab, you can enable it by going to File | Options | Optimize Ribbon and click Recording in the list of tabs on the right.
