Let Your Slides Do the Talking (with Vidcast)

03 February, 2026

Turning Presentations Into Videos with AI
Upload a presentation and generate a narrated video with an automatically created transcript.

Slides are often clear, but the explanation that makes them meaningful usually happens while presenting. Vidcast helps keep that context with the deck by generating a video with narration and a transcript you can review and refine.

How it works
  1. Upload your presentation
  2. Vidcast generates a narrated video
  3. A transcript is created and aligned
  4. Review and edit before sharing
Why the transcript matters
  • Clarify wording and explanations
  • Adapt language for different audiences
  • Keep terminology consistent
  • Reuse as reference or documentation
Getting started

Go to vidcast.io and select Login.

  1. Choose Continue with WebEx
  2. Enter your email address
  3. Sign in using the KAUST Single Sign-On page
  4. Use your KAUST username and password
