Hello reader , today we are with another trick which helps you record your computer screen without any external recording software. We need screen recording for various purposes. Generally most of the screen recorders are not available for free. But if you want to use free or trial versions , you’re limited to recording time , video resolution , product water marks and everything would be limited. So without investing any money now we’re going to see a fully fledged Screen recorder with unlimited time , HD resolution , and with beautiful ready-made effects which can be applied to your screen records with one click.
The trick behind without using any recording software is, here we don’t use any recording application instead we use a very familiar application which every computer will have. And that application is nothing but your MS-PowerPoint. There is a feature in it which lets us record our computer screen whole or part of screen in HD format with awesome video effects. We have already seen taking a screenshot without any software in 3 different methods. And now we’ll see how to record computer screen using the feature of MS-Power Point.
How to Record Computer Screen with MS-Power Point ?
MS- Office has undergone incredible changes from the initial version to the present MS’13 version. It has embedded many features which makes it very user-friendly. From the list of MS applications , now we’re going to make use of video recording feature of MS-Power Point. And I think this feature may not be available in older versions (2003,2007) of MS- Office. Here I’m going to explain the method using MS-PowerPoint’13 . Let’s get started.
1. First open your MS-Powerpoint’13 and choose a blank slide.
2. Next open the window or the screen which you want to record.
3. Next switch to the Power Point and click “INSERT” at top menu bar , then at extreme right you see “Screen Recording” option click it.
4. Then you’ll be taken for selecting the size of your recording. There you can select any window or the whole desktop for recording. You can start , pause or stop recording your screen from the pop up bar which you see at top of your screen when you move your mouse(or Can use shortcuts ).
5. After completion of your recording , your recorded video opens up in Power point.

How to edit or add effects and save video to your Computer ?
After you’re done with recording , it automatically opens up in Power point and when you select the video , you can find FORMAT option in top menu bar or it automatically shows you. There you’re provided with many editing options which are ready-made or you can have your own customized effects.
You can shape your recorded video , can change border colours , adjust brightness , also you can select the thumbnail of your video by clicking Poster frame on left side below menu bar.
When you right click the video , a list is shown , in that select “Format Video( last option)” then a right sidebar opens up there you can add your customized effects and all the effects to your video can be adjusted from there.
The best use of these effects is , here you can crop your video to any shape you want and can add shadow effects very easily . Generally adding such effects is not so easy in video editors, but here its very simple.
Now after completing your editing part , the last step remaining is to save this video to your computer. To save your video just right click your final video and select “Save Media as” and name your recording , the video format is automatically selected as mp4. That’s it. This way you can successfully record your computer screen without using external recording software.
This is the very simple and easiest method of recording your computer screen in HD format. If you like this trick then do like and share with your friends. If you know any other method of this type then share with us…
Interesting article. Although technically it makes use of a software i.e Powerpoint. But I guess lot of users would have it installed so they dont need to download any additional software.

Hello Ma’am,
Happy to see your first land on my blog. Yes Power point is something like a multipurpose tool, if we can use it effectively its not less than a professional media editor. Yet it highly userfriendly.
I hope you definitely enjoy its screen recording feature.

Hi Basharath,
Nice post – and informative – will pass to my daughter. I have a MacBook Pro and do not have Power Point.
I use Keynote and love it, but will check out more of the features. I also use ScreenFlow software for video recording and editing and love it.
Thanks for sharing – will spread the word.
Have a good evening.

Hello Ma’am,
Glad to see you here. If you’re not using Powerpoint, then you can also have a try at “Snagit” an image and video editor very useful for bloggers with very easy UI. OR you can try “Nimbus”, “screencastify” chrome extensions which are very light and featured.
Thank you for sharing your views.

Hope you’re having a wonderful day!

I want to record videos with limited views for educational purpose. But it does not allow any software to run while watching videos. Do you have any suggestion for it?
Your query is not clear. Please be little more clear of what you wanted…
Like, I got an encrypted pendrive, which has limited views I.e. 3 views and then the video is gone automatically. Sometimes I am unable to complete the video within 3 views and its gone. So I want to record it for future piurpose.
Most of the easily available software are blocked by the pendrive while viewing the video, so I am unable to recod it.
Can you copy the video in the pen drive to your computer?
very good helping trick
