How to record talks for YouTube

  • How to create screen recordings of speaker presentations with audio

  • Catching the speaker's voice, so that it is loud enough on the screen recording:

    • Ideally, you'll be able to bring a USB headset microphone & have the speaker hang it around their neck, angling the mic to catch their talk as they pivot around looking between their slides & the audience.
      • Possibly the club can acquire a cheap/decent USB microphone that can be stored with the department and/or club faculty advisor.
    • Without a headset mic, their laptop might be able to catch the ambient audio, but it might not be as loud as necessary.
  • Ideally the speaker will be able to practice on their laptop, but an alternative is for them to make sure their slides will be available in the cloud & then have them use a laptop provided by the club, that can be set up & tested in advance.
