Here are a few ways that will help you record your presentation on Google Slides:
Use screen recorder software
You’ll need to use dedicated screen recording software since Google Slides doesn’t have a built-in recording feature. These programs make recording your presentation, including your face and voice, easy. Launch the screen recording software, choose the area you want to capture and start your presentation.

Use screen recorder extensions
You can use a screen recorder extension if you only need to record your screen occasionally. Screen recorder extensions are browser extensions that allow you to record your screen directly in your browser. Install a reliable screen recorder extension compatible with your browser. These extensions often offer simple interfaces, allowing you to start and stop recording with just a few clicks.
