Walk through the product once, cut the fumbles out of the transcript, and send a link instead of booking a call.
Open REQO in Chrome or Edge and press record. Nothing to install, no extension to approve, and no admin rights to ask IT for.
A face in the corner is what makes a demo read as a person showing you something rather than as documentation, so turn the camera on unless there is a reason not to.
Do not re-record when you stumble. Say the line again, delete the bad version from the transcript, and the video cuts with the words. Then add captions and send a link.
A recorded demo is worth more than a live one for the same reason a document is worth more than a meeting: it is watchable at 2am in another timezone, it is forwardable to the person who actually decides, and it does not need a calendar invite.
What kills most recorded demos is the retake loop. You fumble a sentence four minutes in and start over, and after the third attempt the demo does not get made. Editing the transcript removes that: say the sentence again, then delete the bad one from the transcript and the video follows.
A demo with a webcam bubble reads as a person showing you something; a demo without one reads as documentation. For sales and onboarding that difference is the point, which is why the camera overlay is part of the recording rather than something added afterwards.
Captions matter for the same commercial reason: a lot of the audience watches the first fifteen seconds on mute, in a tab they have not focused yet.
The demos that get watched to the end open with the outcome rather than the tour. Show the thing working in the first twenty seconds, then explain how it got there. A recording is not a live call: nobody is being polite, and the tab closes the moment it stops being worth the time.
Two to four minutes covers most cases. If it is running past six, that is usually two demos rather than one long one, and splitting it means each can be sent to the person who cares about it.
Shorter than the one you would give live. Cutting the pauses and restarts typically takes a first-pass recording down by a third, which is the whole reason to edit by transcript rather than re-record.
Yes. Record the screen and the camera together and the camera sits in the corner, which you can move or resize in the editor.
It records what your screen is showing, up to 1080p, and you can pick a single window or tab rather than the whole display so nothing else ends up in the frame.
No. The recorder runs in Chrome or Edge, so there is nothing to download and no extension to approve. That is usually the deciding factor on a work laptop you cannot install software on.
Yes. Every recording gets a share page, so you send a link rather than a file that bounces off an attachment limit.
Free, no install, and the recording opens straight in a full editor.
