The Customer Product Walkthrough Video is a guided walkthrough by a customer to show how they use the product and their specific use case. It’s designed to give prospective and current customers a clear view of how one of your customers utilises your product.

Step-by-Step Demonstration: Make sure your customer provides a structured walk-through of how they use the product. Customer Scenario: Get them to highlight how certain features help to solve specific problems/challenges for them. Clear, Visual Guidance: Use on-screen annotations or callouts to direct viewers’ attention to important elements and instructions. Concise Explanations: Avoid jargon or excessive detail; keep explanations direct and easy to follow. Engaging Pacing: Maintain a moderate pace to keep viewers engaged while ensuring enough time for each feature to be understood.
