- To resolve:
- Check your version of PowerPoint. You need PowerPoint 2019 for Mac (or PowerPoint for Office 365 for Mac) version 16.19 or later
- If needed, update PowerPoint. See below for instructions to Install Office 365 for free.
- BUG 2: Using the pen to draw on slides seems to work when recording, but it does not work on playback or in the video.
- This is a known bug. We have not been able to find a solution.
