Additional Tips
1. Record or highlight a mouse pointer while recording PowerPoint
Bandicam's 'Mouse Effects' feature allows you to record the mouse cursor or record it with effects applied to the mouse cursor.
2. Draw on slides during a presentation
You can simultaneously draw lines, boxes, or highlights while recording a PowerPoint presentation.
3. Remove black bars in PowerPoint Slideshow
If you have PowerPoint 2010 and earlier, the default slide size is 4:3, so there will be black margins on both sides when you do a slide show.
To remove the black parts on both sides, go to the Design tab, change the slide size to 16:9, or set the width to 33.867cm and height to 19.05cm to make the PowerPoint slideshow appear full without the black bars.
