I am trying to out together a “How To” video. I use Storyline to do a screen recording which also has a step by step breakdown detailing how a potential client could add a door into our system. In one of the slides I would like to have an end-user actually type in the word “Front Door” before they can move to the next slide.

In another slide I would like to use the hover function to display the meaning of each setting when the mouse hovers over it.

Can this be done through screen recording of do I have to import a PPT in order to achieve this?

Hi Addy and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Looks like you are being taken care of over here.

Hi Addy,

There are likely multiple ways you could do this. I would recommend breaking your recording into small pieces. This might be a silly question, but have you made a storyboard or outline for your how-to-lesson?

I recommend using a Fill-In-The-Blank Quiz slide for your "Front Door" question. You can style it to match the screen recording, and it doesn't have to be graded.

For the hover displays, you can use the state feature of objects and text, and add a trigger.

You will probably have to break your screen recording into smaller pieces to accommodate the interactive slides, which is where the storyboard can come in handy.
