Frequently asked
How do I record a software demo?
To record a software demo, capture the app in a tab or on your desktop, narrate the flow as you go, then highlight the cursor and trim out any mistakes afterwards.
A good demo keeps the viewer's eye on the right place. Recording the app while you talk through it, then drawing attention with cursor highlighting and pan or zoom, makes each step easy to follow without re-recording.
Sirvez does all of this for free. It records a tab or your whole desktop, adds cursor highlighting and pan and zoom keyframes in the built-in editor, and lets you remove mistakes non-destructively, so the original is never overwritten. Demos export as WebM, and you can password-protect the shared video.
