Hints for recording audio:

With PowerPoint 2016 on your student laptop, you have the ability to record audio from within PowerPoint and include it in the presentation. You can also upload previously recorded audio files into your PowerPoint presentation instead. If you have access to a headset microphone, we recommend you use it for recording your audio, as the quality will be improved. If not, you may use your laptop’s internal microphone to record your audio narration. Please try to record from a quiet environment with little to no background noise.
