If you want to show your webcam in the final video, you can either go with the picture-in-picture mode (again this will be locked into your final video recording as we’re recording the entire screen), or you can turn it off and record your webcam’s video separately and customize how and where it appears in post production. It’s more work but worth it once you get your workflow figured out. In my opinion this is the absolute best option to choose. Let’s put in the effort to create an absolutely fantastic A-Grade professional presentation recording that we can be proud of, and hopefully make money from in the future. Until you watch it all the way through, and notice the picture-in-picture cam view is overlapping your most important data point, and the 89-second “segment” where you had to exit PowerPoint multiple times to adjust a setting, showing flashes of your embarrassing lack of desktop tidiness. Or you get lucky and the video you get looks really good. If you leave the recording in the hands of someone else-by someone else I mean the presentation platform or event organizer-you may end up with a low-res video, patchy audio, glitches, mistakes, jerky motion and caption lags. Closed captions for accessibility and playing without sound.There are six major elements in a professional quality virtual presentation recording:

Speaker Recording: Nikon Z6ii mirrorless camera for high production video Speaker Live View: Picture-in-picture hidden from speaker view Webcam for live stream: Logitech Brio 4K webcam


Microphone: Rode NTG4+ Shotgun microphone Speaker Recording: Embedded in Zoom recording Speaker Live View: Picture-in-picture visible in speaker view The three different technical scenarios I’ll compare are: Before I dive into the details of how to make a great recording of your virtual presentation, let’s take a comparative look along the recording quality spectrum, so you can see the difference between when an event organizer records your Zoom talk, versus doing it yourself (using everything you’ll learn in this section of the guide).
