Office Mix lets you save your mix as a video that contains the audio, video, and inking you created with Office Mix, but none of the interactive content (apps, quizzes, simulations, etc.). This option is designed for the following scenarios:
- You want viewers to be able to watch your mix without connecting to the Internet.
- You don't want your mix to be stored in the secure Microsoft cloud.
- You want to save a copy of your mix locally (i.e., on your hard drive or other local storage device).
- You want to publish your mix on Office 365's video portal.
- You want to publish your mix to YouTube. (If you plan to make your mix available as a YouTube video, it's a good idea to add the URL of your mix to the end of your video so people can enjoy the full mix experience on https://mix.office.com.)

Tips & tricks
Remember that unlike a mix, a video plays from start to finish without user interaction (except to pause, play, and rewind). Follow the tips and tricks below to make sure your exported video plays the way you expect.
Remember that unlike a mix, a video plays from start to finish without user interaction (except to pause, play, and rewind). Follow the tips and tricks below to make sure your exported video plays the way you expect.
- Do not use slide transitions. There are no slide transitions in a video. To change the amount of time that is spent on each slide, change the default value of 5 in the Seconds spent on each slide box.
- Expect animations to play automatically. If you added animation effects in PowerPoint that start "On Click," they will play automatically in the video version.
- Do not create videos when saving interim versions of your mix. Saving a video version of your mix can be a time-consuming process because PowerPoint plays the slideshow during the export process. For example, if the runtime of your PowerPoint presentation is one hour, it will take just over one hour to export it to video. To speed up the upload process, clear the Enable playback on mobile devices box, and enable it only when you're ready to upload your final version.
