A short tutorial directed at Cybersecurity Education.
I used a trial version of Slideoo ( https://slideoo.ai/ )
to aid in the creation of this video.
I made a lot of modification to the Slidoo creation but, it was helpful
and made the creation of the PowerPoint presentation easier.
I then used ZOOM and ScreenPal in converting the PowerPoint presentation
into a video.
This process does not alter or destroy the PowerPoint creation.
I simply use the PowerPoint presentation as the background image of the video.
