Video Walkthroughs Don’t Belong in Products

from No One Asked Us · host Will King

Video walkthroughs do not belong inside of products. I would even go so far as to say if you need a video walkthrough to explain how to use your product or features in it, your design and experience is fundamentally flawed.A walkthrough video is like pouring molasses on all the potential energy your customers have. You are taking a user from an active role to a passive role and asking them to remember a recipe or incantation for how to get your software to do the things that you promised them it could do.We can do better.---------Website: https://www.wking.devNewsletter: https://www.wking.dev/newsletterPodcast: https://share.transistor.fm/s/8c08b9bcCommunity: https://ripple.fm/podcasts/strong-opinions-weekly-held-1764316855Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxCa5jRGTdg
