Product demos and videos

Show your SaaS with product demos and videos

Bring your product page to life with an uploaded demo video and a choice of presentation layouts. Growth and Scale owners can also customize demo slides with their own images, titles, and descriptions to explain the workflow in their own words.

A closer look at Product demos and videos

A product pitch becomes easier to understand when people can see the workflow. Add a demo video above your screenshots, choose a layout, and use editable titles and subtitles to introduce what viewers are about to see.

Custom demo slides give Growth and Scale owners another way to tell the story. Upload marketing images, edit the accompanying copy, and arrange the slides around the task your product helps someone complete.

Make it useful

Give visitors a clearer product introduction

Keep the video and product pitch focused on the same customer problem. Show a real workflow and let the surrounding product page explain the wider capabilities and founder story.

Use feedback to improve the demonstration

Invite viewers to identify the step they found confusing. Their questions can help you refine the demo or reveal a product improvement worth adding to your roadmap.

From idea to action

How to get started

  1. Open your product’s Demo section

    Choose the product you want to present and open its demo controls. Prepare a video that shows one useful workflow.

  2. Choose how to present the story

    Upload your video and select a presentation layout. Eligible owners can also edit demo slides, including their images, titles, descriptions, and order.

  3. Preview the visitor’s experience

    Review the demo with the product pitch and screenshots. Check that the first few moments show what the product helps someone accomplish.

Find your starting point

When a demonstration makes the difference

Use a demo when a screenshot cannot show the interaction: creating a report, organizing a project, or finishing a task. A short, focused recording can answer a question before someone leaves your product page.

An example to adapt

Example: show the first useful result

For an invoicing tool, record the path from an empty draft to a finished sample invoice. Introduce the task, show the key interaction, and finish with the result rather than touring every setting.

Make the most of it

Keep the workflow easy to follow

Use readable text and realistic sample data. Remove private customer information, trim unnecessary pauses, and make sure the demo reflects the product people can use today.

Good questions, clear answers
