Capability Summary	Provides a screen recording entry inside the presentation editing workflow and supports access to more settings.	PowerPoint lets users record the screen from the Insert tab, then embed the recording in a slide or save it as a separate file.	Google Slides lets users record a presentation and save it to Drive, with a focus on slideshow recording and sharing rather than inserting a local screen recording clip into slide editing.	Notion AI Meeting Notes requires screen recording and system audio permissions, but its focus is meeting transcription and summaries rather than slide-based screen recording.	Adobe Captivate supports responsive screen recording and can capture mouse movement, system audio, and keyboard activity for training and software demos.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the entry is placed directly in the slide editing workflow. Distinct: it fits presentation creation scenarios where users want to move from editing to recording settings quickly.	Compared with WPS: PowerPoint puts more emphasis on embedding the captured media and saving it as a separate file after recording.	Compared with WPS: Google Slides is more oriented to browser-based presentation recording, Drive storage, and sharing conditions tied to account access.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on meeting capture and transcription, not a recording entry built for slide authoring.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Captivate offers broader training-production features, but its workflow is more specialized for eLearning and software simulation projects.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to start screen recording while building slides, WPS keeps the entry closer to the presentation editing workflow. If your priority is browser-based presentation recording, meeting transcription, or training-focused simulation production, the other products may fit those scenarios more closely.
