Capability Summary	In WPS Presentation, you can open Screen Recording from the Insert tab, then continue to More Settings and preview the effect before saving settings.	PowerPoint lets you record your screen from the Insert tab, capture audio and pointer by default, embed the recording in a slide, and save the media as a separate file.	Google Slides supports recording a presentation video, saving it to Drive, and sharing it, but the official workflow focuses on slideshow recording rather than an in-slide screen recording tool.	Notion officially provides AI Meeting Notes, which focuses on transcription and summaries with screen recording permission for meeting capture, rather than a presentation editing screen recorder.	Adobe Captivate supports responsive screen recording, captures mouse movement, system audio, and keyboard activity, and is designed for training and simulation content.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the entry point stays inside the presentation editing workflow; Distinct: you can move from the recording entry to More Settings without leaving the current document flow.	Compared with WPS: PowerPoint emphasizes area selection, embedded media output, and saving the recording as a separate file.	Compared with WPS: Google Slides is more focused on recording slideshow delivery and Drive-based sharing, with browser and account conditions in the official guidance.	Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented to meeting transcription and summaries, not the same type of presentation-based screen recording workflow.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Captivate is built for training and simulation production, so its workflow is broader and more specialized than quick recording inside a presentation editor.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to start recording while editing a presentation, WPS keeps the workflow close to the slide editing interface. Other products may be a better fit for slideshow delivery recording, meeting transcription, or training simulation production, depending on the task.
