This wiki includes screenshots from a Windows Powerpoint 2016 version (as this is the most common at the University) if you are on a Mac, my colleague Rob Englebright has created Mac-version of this same workflow. <a href="https://blogs.brighton.ac.uk/howto/2020/10/02/export-a-narrated-powerpoint-as-a-video/">Mac Directions Link</a>
