I am an adjunct instructor at a local university, among other things. With the Covid-19 pandemic, the university decided that all classes on campus had to go online for the remainder of the spring semester and the first block of the summer semester. This prompted a mandate from my department that all instructors had to go through a training seminar to bring us all up to speed with teaching online. The last assignment of the seminar is to record a presentation and submit it.
This brings me to the issue I'm having. I've created my presentation in PowerPoint, complete with some video I've captured with OBS Studio. The videos all work well in the presentation, but when I try to record the presentation with a mic to create a video I can upload to submit my final assignment, the video in the presentation doesn't play. I have a dual QHD monitor setup, and I'm trying to record the screen that contains the "projected" presentation. My PC is a 6-core 8th gen i7 with 32GB of RAM. I have a 1 TB NVME SSD, a 1TB SATA III SSD, and a 4TB 7200 RPM HDD. I have the videos in the presentation linked, not embedded because that makes the presentation run more smoothly I'm working on the SATA SSD. I have thought that maybe I need to record the capture to a different drive than the one I'm playing the presentation videos from, but that really doesn't make much sense to me since I'm running from SSD. Any thoughts?
