Use PowerPoint, Keynote, Zoom, or other presentation systems to record your voice over your slide presentation.
You may either record a video of you presenting with no slides, or a voice recording of you presenting with slides. Consider the best format for your presentation.
Presentations must be submitted in MP4 format. (see steps below)
Use 16:9 ratio (widescreen format)
If your talk is educational in nature (i.e. a lecture for a course) a disclosure slide listing any and all financial relationships with commercial interests for the past 12 months must be included at the beginning of the presentation.
Limit the presentation to 25 slides maximum. Focus on the most important details.
Maintain an even paced, easy-to-follow presentation rate.
Commercial slides and product promotion is not permitted. Avoid advertising trade names, corporate logos ,and product-group messages.
Note that use of embedded videos will slow your upload time.
URLs and other internet links will not be supported.

NOTE – Please review your video prior to submitting to ensure quality.

Use any program that allows recording of voice during a slide presentation. See suggestions below:

Create a script and practice your presentation to check sound and visual quality.
Record in a quiet environment free of noise such as typing, tapping, voices, etc.
Use an external microphone for best sound quality. Regardless, be sure to test your microphone for best quality.
