You can record your computer screen and related audio, and then embed it in your PowerPoint slide—or you can save it as a separate file.

To record and listen to audio associated with your screen recording, you'll need a sound card, microphone, and speakers.

Make sure there's enough disk space on your local drive to record and save your screen recording.

Step 1: Open the slide that you want to put the screen recording on.

Step 2: On the Insert tab of the ribbon, select Screen Recording.

Step 3: On the Control Dock, click Select Area (Windows logo key+Shift+A), or, if you want to select the entire screen for recording, press Windows logo key+Shift+F. 

Tip: PowerPoint automatically records the audio and the mouse pointer, so by default those options are selected on the control dock. To turn them off, deselect Audio (Windows logo key+Shift+U) and Record Pointer (Windows logo key+Shift+O).

Step 4: Click Record (Windows logo key+Shift+R). 

Tip: Unless you pin the Control Dock to the screen, it will slide up into the margin while you record. To make the unpinned Control Dock reappear, point the mouse cursor at the top of the screen.

Step 5: To control your recording:  

• Click Pause to temporarily pause the recording (Windows logo key+Shift+R). 
• Click Record to resume recording (Windows logo key+Shift+R).
• Click Stop to end your recording (Windows logo key+Shift+Q).

Step 6: When you are finished recording, save your presentation: File > Save. The recording is now embedded on the slide you selected in step 2.

To save the recording itself as a separate file on your computer, right-click the picture on the slide that represents the recording, and select Save Media as. In the Save Media As dialog box, specify a file name and folder location, then click Save.

Dark mode allows you to change the color theme of WhatsApp from white and green to more subtle shades of black and gray. This produces less glare at night, and makes WhatsApp more comfortable to use in low light conditions.

Darker screens also use less power. Finally, it just looks cool, and makes a refreshing change from all-white interfaces. It's always good to have more options.

First of all, you need to update your WhatsApp to the latest version available on the Google Play Store.

Step 1: Open WhatsApp and tap on the three dots located at the top right corner. 

Step 2: Tap on the Settings option.

Step 3: Open the ‘Chats’ option.

Step 4: Tap on the ‘Theme’ option.

Step 5: Enable Dark mode.

Removing a Solid Color Picture Background in PowerPoint

The fastest way to remove an image background is to use the Set Transparent color tool. The only catch is this only works for removing solid colors, like white backgrounds.

Step 1: Insert and select a picture on your slide

Step 2: Navigate to the Picture Tools Format Tab.

Step 3: Open the Color drop down.

 

Step 4: Select the Set Transparent Color tool (your cursor becomes a little pen with an arrow)

Step 5: Click on the color you want to remove from your background.

When set transparent color doesn’t work

Example #1: This technique does not work well if your background and image are too similar in color.

Example #2: This technique does not well with gradient color backgrounds. 

Example #3: This technique does not work well with minute details like strands of hair or clothing. This also includes pixels around people’s hands, as pictured below.

 

Removing a complicated image background

 

Step 1: Select the desired image, then click the Format tab.

Step 2: Click the Remove Background command.

Step 3: PowerPoint will try to guess which part of the image is the background, and it will mark this area with a magenta fill. It will also place a box around the image with selection handles.

 

Step 4: Drag the selection handles until all of the foreground is inside the box. After you do this, PowerPoint may readjust the background.

Step 5: At this point, you may need to help PowerPoint decide which parts of the image are foreground and which parts are background. You can do this by using the Mark Areas to Keep and Mark Areas to Remove commands:

If PowerPoint has marked part of the foreground magenta, click Mark Areas to Keep and draw a line in that region of the image.

 

If part of the background has not been marked with magenta, click Mark Areas to Remove and draw a line in that region of the image. 

 

Step 6: After you add your marks, PowerPoint will readjust the image.

 

Step 7: When you're satisfied with the image, click Keep Changes.

 

Step 8: The background will be removed. You can adjust the image at any time by clicking the Remove Background command again.

It's easy to create a poll in Microsoft Outlook by including voting buttons in an email message.

Step 1: Create an email message or reply to or forward a message that you received.

 

Step 2: On the Options tab, in the Tracking group, click Use Voting Buttons.

 

Step 3: Choose one of the following: 

Approve Reject - Use when you need an authorization for an action. For example, you can send an email request to several recipients seeking their approval of a project proposal.

 Yes; No - Use when you need either a yes or no. This is a good way to take a quick poll.

Yes; No; Maybe - Use when you don't want to limit the choices to yes and no. This voting option offers an alternative response.

Custom - Use to create your own custom voting button names. For example, you can ask your colleagues to choose a lunch between vegiterian or non vegiterian.

If you chose a Custom voting button, do the following:

In the Properties dialog box, under Voting and Tracking options, select the Use voting buttons check box.

 

Use the default button options, or delete the default options and then type the text that you want, and use semicolons to separate the button names.

Click Close You will get a notification on the top saying that you added voting buttons to this message.

How to respond to vote in outlook?

The receiver of the mail gets an additional message advising them to respond by using the vote button. That Vote button appears to vote for your choice.

 

After you selected your vote a box pops up verifying the poll response, you can also edit if required or click OK.

 

At the same time the sender also received a mail reveling your vote.

How To View Voting Results In Outlook?

An alternate way to track survey responses is to open the original email from the Sent Items folder and click “Tracking” under the Show section.

How can I reduce the size of my PowerPoint presentation and make it easier to upload or share? 

 

Crop your pictures

When you crop an image, a part of the picture is removed. Cropping may be helpful when a picture has a lot of content and you want to focus on only part of it.

Step 1: Select the image you want to crop. The Format tab appears.

Step 2: On the Format tab, click the Crop command.

 

Step 3: Cropping handles will appear around the image. Click, hold, and drag a handle to crop the image.

 

Step 4 Click the Crop command again. The image will be cropped.

Compress all pictures 

Step 1: Select the picture you want to compress, then click the Format tab.

Step 2: Click the Compress Pictures command.

Step 3: Apply only to this picture: This check-box, when selected enables you to compress just the selected picture. If you want to compress all the pictures in the presentation, make sure you deselect this check-box. 

Step 4: Place a check mark next to Delete cropped areas of pictures.

Step 5: Choose a Target output. If you are emailing your presentation, you may want to select Email, which produces the smallest file size. When you are done, click OK.

High fidelity: This is the default option for picture compression in PowerPoint 2016, and you may see it always greyed out. This option preserves the quality of the original picture unless it exceeds the size of the document canvas. 

HD (330 ppi): Choosing this radio button will enable compression for Screen resolution to display the presentation on high-definition displays. Some projectors have a higher resolution than a monitor. 

Print (220 ppi): Select this radio button if you are printing the presentation on paper; it keeps the photos at a resolution where they will look crisp on a printout.

Web (150 ppi): Choosing this radio button will enable compression for Screen resolution to display the presentation using a projector or distributing via Internet.

E-mail (96 ppi): Select this radio button if you are e-mailing the presentation to others, because this lower setting results in a smaller file that will transmit more easily via e-mail 

Link to video file Instead of Embedding Them

Consider the difference in file size if you embed an entire YouTube video in your presentation instead of linking back to it. Embedding an entire video will significantly increase the size of your presentation. There are certainly some valuable benefits when embedding a file vs. linking to it (such as when the recipient might not have internet access to play the video), but if the file size is an issue, just don’t do it.

Step 1: Launch your favorite browser and log into your Gmail account as you normally would.

Step 2: Next, click the cog icon in the upper-right corner of the screen and click See all settings from the drop-down menu.

step 4: Choose a theme and Click Save. You should now be able to see your new background.

If you’re feeling lucky, scroll all the way down the Pick Your Theme window and choose the Random image option.
