  • Get in a quiet place.
  • Make sure you are facing the iPad screen, and are decently close to it [so the microphone will get a good recording.]
  • Screen record your presentation  [ https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207935 has the details ].

  • Click through your presentation, and say what you need to say on each slide.
  • When you are done, stop the screen recording.
  • The movie – complete with the audio – will be stored in your photo roll.
