  1. Add the Recording Tab to PowerPoint, see PowerPoint | Adding the Recording Tab
  2. Or use the Slideshow tab and select, Record from... , see Record a slide show with narration and slide timings
Click  Record Slide Show  [2]. If you click the menu triangle, then you can choose to Record from the beginning or Record from the current slide. Record from the current slide allows you to resume recording at any point if you need to record your presentation in chunks.
