When you’re happy with the content you’ve created in PowerPoint, you can use the three buttons in the Mix group on the Mix ribbon tab to Preview the content locally, Upload (publish) it to your Office 365 account (where you can share it privately or publicly) or Export to Video (excluding the interactive apps of course). That’s because the interactive elements need to communicate with the Microsoft servers in order to record data from the quiz and provide the reporting and analytics features (we haven’t reviewed that yet but will add it to this post when we do). Using this interactive element is the trigger to need to publish the so-called “Mix” on the Office Mix website and the reason you’ll need an Office 365 account to achieve this. Clicking the cumbersomely named Quizzes Videos Apps button takes you the Microsoft’s Apps for Office store:
This is where things get even more interesting. This is really useful if you want to demonstrate the operation of a website, an app or anything else that’s essentially not static on your desktop. It allows you to record part or all of the screen as a video. However, the Screen Recording button is another bonus addition to PowerPoint. The Screenshot button is just a repeat of the same button that already exists in PowerPoint 2013 under the Insert tab so we won’t go into that here. There’s probably a good reason for this one but video recording doesn’t appear to be possible for slides containing Interactive Apps (see below). It would also be nice for the slide transition time to be set automatically based on the timings encountered during the recording.

What? That’s just plain silly as this the whole point of Office Mix is that it’s used to create free running e-learning courses. What we found odd is that the default behaviour of the inserted video object is set to Start : On Click. A really cool thing that happens is that as you switch from one slide to another during recording, the live video stream from your webcam is split into chunks corresponding to each of your slides. Some good and bad things we noticed here:
