There are many ways to create a video including using video from your phone; creating a screen recording with ScreenPal; creating a recording of a conversation, a screen share, or a powerpoint presentation in Zoom; and recording a presentation directly from PowerPoint and saving it as an MP4 video.
(Here is a more in-depth video on all of the video recording options in PowerPoint, including how to create a screen recording from within PowerPoint that is "editable" and then easily include it in your PowerPoint slide.)
But the question is:
Once I have a video...what do I do with it?
Uploading a video to YouTube
Obviously, you can include your video in your Blogger blog. But often, you will want to upload it to YouTube. Everyone who has a Gmail account automatically has YouTube storage space. Your ISU email is a Gmail account, which means your ISU email has YouTube storage associated with it! Here is a brief video on uploading a video to YouTube.
Trimming your YouTube video
When you record your video, there is often some "extra" video at the beginning of the video between when you start recording and when you actually start your presentation. There is also typically a bit of "extra" video that gets captured at the end of the video as you finish up, turn off the recorder, etc. It is not critical to remove the "extra" bits, but it makes your video look cleaner and more professional. Here is a video that explains how to trim your video once it is uploaded to YouTube.
Have fun as you use YouTube with your videos!
