Capture your screen

You may capture your screen while presenting in Keynote.

 *Note: Doing this will capture what’s being shown on your screen, it will not create events for each individual slide or index the content from the slides. 

Present your Keynote presentation in Office for Mac PowerPoint

Within Keynote, you have the ability to save your presentation in PowerPoint format. Doing this will preserve slide indexing, and allow viewers to search for terms in the Panopto Viewer.

*Note: To do this, open your Keynote presentation. Once open, choose File>Export from your menu bar. A dialogue will drop down in Keynote, and you will want to choose “PPT” and click “Next”. You will then given the option to change the document name, and storage location. Please note,  that all slide transisitions may not be available in Office for Mac PowerPoint.
