I'll leave this set to Full HD, and let YouTube handle the compression. If you've got recorded narrations and timings, you can change this option to include them.
Otherwise, just set a setting on how long you want each slide to show. For example, I could change this to 10 seconds, if I wanted each slide to show for 10 seconds.
3. Export the Video and Upload It
PowerPoint then exports a video file, once we press Save, that's ready for YouTube.
