Using PowerPoint to record screen on Windows 11 is a very convenient method, especially for those who are accustomed to using Office software. PowerPoint can not only be used to make slides, but its built-in screen recording function is also very useful, which can capture screen activities and audio at the same time. Here are the specific steps and some usage experiences:

1. Open PowerPoint:
2. Launch PowerPoint, which can be an already open presentation, or create a new blank presentation.
3. Click the "Insert" tab at the top and find "Screen Recording" in the toolbar. This option is usually on the right side of the tab.
4. After clicking "Screen Recording", the screen will turn gray and a selection box will appear for you to select the area to record. You can choose to record the entire screen or just a part of the screen.
5. Make sure the "Record System Audio" and "Record Microphone" options at the bottom of the screen are checked so that you can record the internal sound of the computer and the sound of the microphone at the same time.
6. After selecting the recording area and audio settings, click the "Record" button to start. Before recording starts,
7. PowerPoint will have a three-second countdown.
8. During recording, the control bar will be hidden, and you can make it reappear by moving the mouse to the top of the screen to stop recording.
9. After recording, the video will be automatically inserted into the current slide. You can edit the video, such as trimming the beginning or end.

If necessary, you can also right-click the video and select "Save As" to save the video as a file.

This feature of PowerPoint is very suitable for teaching or demonstration videos, because you can use PowerPoint's editing tools to process the video directly after recording, such as adding text descriptions, transition effects, etc.
