You can use manual slide timings to the trim the end of a recorded slide segment. If you want the next slide to appear either when you click the mouse or automatically after the number of seconds that you enter - whichever comes first - select both the On Mouse Click and the After check boxes. Repeat the process for each slide that you want to set the timing for. On the Transitions tab, in the Timing group, under Advance Slide, select the After check box, and then enter the number of seconds that you want the slide to appear on the screen. In Normal view, click the slide that you want to set the timing for. PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 automatically records your slide timings when you add narrations, or you can manually set the slide timings to accompany your narrations. You can pause playback while previewing the audio. (When you preview individual audio in this way, you won't see recorded animation or inking.) In Normal view, click the sound icon or picture in the lower-right corner of the slide, and then click Play. In the Recording window, the triangular Play button near the top left corner lets you preview the recording of the slide that currently has the focus in that window.

However, if you need one, you can save your presentation as a video with a few extra steps.
A video file is not created by this recording process. In this process, what you record is embedded in each slide, and the recording can be played back in Slide Show. (In Slide Sorter view, the timings are listed beneath each slide.) The recorded slide show timing is automatically saved. The picture is an audio icon, or, if the web camera was on during the recording, a still image from the webcam. When you finish recording your narration, a small picture appears in the lower-right corner of the recorded slides. To end your recording, select the square Stop button (or press S on your keyboard). ( Eraser is grayed out unless you have previously added ink to some slides.)
There are also color selection boxes for changing the color of the ink. You can pick a pointer tool (pen, eraser, or highlighter) from the array of tools just below the current slide. You can also re-record by going to Slide Show > Record Slide Show. If you re-record your narration (including audio and ink), PowerPoint erases your previously recorded narration (including audio and ink) before you start recording again on the same slide. If you use the pen, highlighter, or eraser, PowerPoint records those actions for playback also. The buttons at the lower-right corner of the window allow you to toggle on or off the microphone, camera, and camera preview:
You can record audio or video narration as you run through your presentation. PowerPoint_365 automatically records the time you spend on each slide, including any Animate text or objects steps that occur, and the use of any triggers on each slide. Navigation arrows on either side of the current slide allow you to move to the previous and next slides. You can stop the recording any time by pressing Alt+ S on your keyboard. The current slide is shown in the main pane of the Recording window. A three-second countdown ensues, then the recording begins.
