If you want to broadcast your presentation with live video and audio, you must connect a video camera and microphone to your computer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use this procedure for recording a broadcast for small groups (fewer than 10 computers at a time); for information about broadcasting to larger groups, see the Microsoft Office 2003 Resource Kit Web site.

1. Open the presentation that you want to broadcast.
2. On the Slide Show menu, point to Online Broadcast, and then click Record and Save a Broadcast.
3. Make any changes you want in the Record Presentation Broadcast dialog box. This information appears on the lobby page (lobby page: A page of information about the broadcast that is displayed in the viewer's browser before the broadcast begins. It can contain a title, subject, host's name, information about the broadcast, and a countdown to the time of the broadcast.) of your broadcast.
4. Click Settings on the Record a Presentation Broadcast dialog box.
5. On the Presenter tab, under File location, type the file location in the Save broadcast files in field.

   Note  Online broadcast files can be saved only locally or to a file server on a network. Specify a shared folder using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC), or \\servername\sharename.

6. If necessary, change audio or video settings.

   How?

   • If you want both audio and video capability, select the Video and audio option.
   • If you want audio capability only, select the Audio only option.
   • If you do not want audio or video functionality, select None.
7. Click OK to save broadcast settings.

   Note  These settings apply to all broadcasts from a particular computer, not just to the presentation you are preparing to broadcast. You should check these settings before broadcasting each time, to ensure that they reflect your preference for that broadcast session.

8. In the Record Presentation Broadcast dialog box, click Record.

   If you are using a microphone or video camera, tests will be performed automatically.

9. When you are ready to record, click Start.

   When the Microsoft Internet Explorer window appears with the title slide for your presentation, you can run the presentation as you would any other presentation. When you have clicked to exit the presentation, a message appears to confirm that you have recorded and saved the broadcast and the file location for the broadcast.

Notes

• You will not be able to see yourself in video display as you deliver a presentation, so be careful not to move from the position you were in during the video test or you may move out of camera range.
• When you want to others to view a recorded broadcast presentation, be sure it is placed in a shared location. You will need to send the link to the starting page and direct the audience to click Replay Broadcast on the lobby page to start the presentation.
