# Why turn your presentation into a video?

# Why turn your presentation into a video?

When you want to give a high-fidelity version of your presentation to colleagues or customers (either as an e-mail attachment, published to the web, on a CD or DVD), save it and let it play as a video.
You can save your presentation as either an **MPEG-4 video file (.mp4) or a .wmv** file. Both formats are widely supported and can be streamed over the internet.
Some tips to remember when recording your presentation as a video:
* You can record and time voice narration and laser pointer movements in your video.
* You can control the size of the multimedia file and the quality of your video.
* You can include [animations](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/animate-text-or-objects-305a1c94-83b1-4778-8df5-fcf7a9b7b7c6) and [transitions](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/add-change-or-remove-transitions-between-slides-3f8244bf-f893-4efd-a7eb-3a4845c9c971) in your movie.
* Viewers do not need to have PowerPoint installed on their computers to watch it.
* If your presentation contains an embedded video, the video will play correctly without your needing to control it.
* Depending on the content of your presentation, creating a video may take some time. Lengthy presentations and presentations with animations, transitions, and media content will likely take longer to create. Fortunately, you can continue to use PowerPoint while the video is being created.
