Ways to create a demo

Choose a method​

Your material or situationUse
A web app you are signed in to, an intranet, a VPN-only tool or localhostBrowser recorder
A desktop applicationBrowser recorder → desktop capture
A public website, without installing anythingWebsite recorder
A hands-on task away from a screen: a machine, a lab, a shop floorCamera recorder on a phone
Screenshots, photos, a PDF or a PowerPoint deck you already haveImages, PDF and PowerPoint
A demo exported from another organization or installationDemo backup

The recorders write step titles and descriptions for you; imports give you bare slides to annotate. One demo can mix sources, so you can record most of a workflow and add a PDF page or a photo later. Options your account or installation cannot use are hidden.

Screen format​

Choose the format that matches what you capture: Horizontal (16:9) for desktop software and websites, Vertical (9:16) for phone screens and portrait photos, Match the presentation for PowerPoint decks. Every slide is cropped to the format. You can switch later, including to 2:1, 16:10, 4:3 or 1:1, but each crop then needs checking; originals are kept.

Add slides to an existing demo​

Add slide in the editor offers the same capture and import sources, plus Add title slide for a section heading and Add quiz slide for a question. Captures and imports are added at the end of the demo; the camera recorder inserts after the selected slide. Reorder slides afterwards in the slide list.

Everything you create or import stays a private draft until you publish it.
