WOW!! My district still does not have Powerpoint on our district laptops, but one day we will get Powerpoint back and this tutorial is SO GREAT. Thank you Kylie and Serena!
I followed the steps you had shown everything was alright except I dun get the nicely cropped image of me when the slight came up. Pls advise:) thanks a lot.LV
Thank you for this video. At point 2:22 of the video, I couldn't see what you clicked to move Kylie into the screen so as to pin her. Could you please specify that? Thanks.
Thank you! I have been trying to make this work but now I see that it's because I have an older version of PPT, since that's the error message I keep getting.
I have some families that participate with remote therapy using their phones (!) or tablets. So I don't know if I can use the pin feature, or anything else. HELP
Have you found a way to advance through the slides without having to actually touch the little arrow in the screen with either your mouse or touch pad? The arrows buttons don’t work on my keyboard
I used powerpoint as my virtual background and put myself in a box like you did. When I recorded my session, it only showed the powerpoint background with my audio and no video of me in the box on the screen/background. Any idea what I'd need to do so I'm recorded in front of the background?
I could not click the powerpoint as virtual background in my advanced share screen ( it is greyed). I don't know why, as I have been using it several days ago. Then it just suddenly became greyed ... I use the updated zoom (even install t again) and have powerpoint ready. But somehow the ? mark in the greyed area said I need to have powerpoint installed in my laptop. Anyone can help?
This is great! Thank you!! I was able to use the advanced sharing and move and adjust myself from slide to slide, however, for the interactive slides, I couldn't click on the items. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
is it possible to use this method with google meet like you've done with previous virtual backgrounds? I have tried...my problem seems to be that my screen is not mirroring correctly so I have to move to the opposite side to do anything interactive and it's difficult to coordinate! The mirror my video option in zoom could be checked or unchecked and it is the same. I truly love all your resources! Thank you!
I have upgraded my zoom and have PPT downloaded on my computer but when I try to share slide it says... "unable to import because PowerPoint is not installed". Any idea why?
I ma struggling to get the Powerpoint to work as the virtual background. I tested it last week and it was fine. But now, I cannot get the powerpoint to become the background following the steps, provided. I noticed in the Zoom update on the Advanced settings to share Powerpoint, it now has a pink box saying Beta, that wasn't there before... I'm using version 5.4.9
I wish I could help with this, but I am not exactly sure why it isn't working! I would ask the green screen speech therapy group on facebook to see if anyone has experienced the same thing.
When I tried this out, I noticed that the video of me was flipped during the powerpoint (vs usually, my video is mirrored) - I can't find anything in the settings, anyone have any suggests??! (No way I'll be able to pretend to point to anything if it's all backwards! 😨 )
I do not have my video mirrored, and I have not experienced this! I would ask this question in the Green Screen Speech Therapy page to see if any others have had the same issue.
I have this issue too - on my old and now my new MacBook Pro. I just practiced and got used to doing things backwards. Not easy, but I can't find a solution.
Hi.. Thanks for the lovely video.. Can someone pls tell me how to change to 5.4.1 version.. I am currently using the latest version.. Tried to change but everytime I come back to zoom, it says that I am using the latest version. Some pls pls help. Any website I can download the 5.4.1 version on??
Will this work if you then share your Zoom screen in google meets? I have been sharing static ppts this way, but those with sound effects and movement (gifs) do nit work.
It all depends on your computer specs and the year of your powerpoint. I would reach out to the green screen speech therapy page on Facebook and see if anyone has encountered this problem.
This is so cool! Thank you for the information! Most of my virtual students are using tablets that the district has provided, will this impact what they see? Or as long as the zoom app is updated it should work? Getting them to pin will be a whole different story lol
Not sure who gave this video a dislike! This was super helpful, thanks for taking the time to make it and share it Serena!
Thank you!!
Well done. Well explained. Even this 87 year-old can understand. Thanks.
OMG!!! you are truly making tele-therapy so enjoyable and interactive.thanks so much.
So glad this was helpful!

I can’t wait for you to get PowerPoint!

Great video. Thank you.
Great video - however, the speaker video does not show up in the recording. Do you know what the issue is?

Very well done. Have seen several of these and none have showed how to bring a second person on the screen.
so glad this helped!
How do you get your note points to appear one by one instead of altogether?

how about libre office and linux users ? can it be used ?

Hi, is it possible to add a virtual background in videos that are created in PowerPoint?
I wish I could give you more than one like :-) Thank you, very helpful. Bless you for this info.
Great new tip! Thank you so much!

I have actually not experienced this with google meet! I wish I had a better answer
Did you figure out this problem? Experiencing the same thing with the video not being mirrored!
I have upgraded my zoom and have PPT downloaded on my computer but when I try to share slide it says... "unable to import because PowerPoint is not installed". Any idea why?
Or is there a way to share your jpeg series of backgrounds as slides?

It will not let me click through my slides. The number changes but the other pictures on my slide do not. any tips? thank
you!
Several people have been telling me this. It sounds like it is a zoom glitch!
I had the same problem but just updated the zoom to the newest version it worked perfectly!

I would contact zoom customer support. They can update you that way.
I have done exactly what you have said and I can't change slides using the arrows.
I am sorry! I am not sure why that would be
have you figured out why the slides wouldn't change? Mine is the same Edith
@@kristinakeenan3757 Sadly I have not
You should mention that the powerpoint presentation should be saved in the zoom folder in order to open it. I took forever for me to figure that out.
That is not the case on my computer. I do not have any of my powerpoints saved in my zoom folder.
How to save powerpoint in zoom folder?

Unfortunately animated pieces do not work, you are correct.
I never recieved the green screen and extra pocket I ordered ;(
Oh no! Send an email to playsparktoys@gmail.com and we will work this out!
when i want to try this, the powerpoint as virtual background option was disabled/greyed out. do you know how to fix it?
It all depends on your computer specs and the year of your powerpoint. I would reach out to the green screen speech therapy page on Facebook and see if anyone has encountered this problem.
@@PlaySparkToys i think its the power point year since i can use virtual background. What power point year did you use?
@@fauzidaniqbal2564 It has to be 2016 or newer
@@PlaySparkToys ah thanks for the info, im currently using 365 , i wonder it works or not
Are you able to use this even if you are not licensed?
To do what?
@@PlaySparkToys in zoom to make your powerpoint presentation as your virtual background?
@@frankdavidramos944 No, any user of zoom can use this feature.
@@PlaySparkToys I can't use mine, even my zoom version are the latest version.

I believe that they need to be on a computer, not a tablet or chromebook in order for this to work.
Thanx a lot from India
sadly, zoom doesn't record this...all you see is the slide....not the presenter.. Zoom needs to fix this...
Since you're beautiful make your virtual box big. If you're ugly (like me)make it small ;-) .
Now, I understand why this video never worked for me. You use Mac.
