Discover the ease of creating documentation with Guidde's AI-powered extension. This tutorial is designed for new users who want to quickly get up to speed with recording via Guidde. Follow along as we walk you through the key steps to produce high-quality documentation efficiently and effectively.
1. Install extension
Before you can start recording you must make sure that the Guidde extension is installed on your Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser.
2. Pin extension
Once downloaded, we recommend pinning the Guidde extension to your browser toolbar to ensure easy access for capturing from any website.
3. Select Step-by-step capture
When you're ready to record, click into the extension and then select the capture recording button.
4. Add important info on your guide
A pop-up will then appear where you will select the documentation category and add a few words about the goal of your guide.
5. Choose a guide category
We offer a variety of categories to choose from. Note that your selection will impact the phrasing of the AI-generated transcript.
6. Describe your guide
Then add a short description of your guide. You must describe your guide in the transcript and voiceover language that you will be recording in.
7. Select a language
Select a language and click the "Go" button. You'll then see a countdown before the capture starts.
8. Access the recording toolbar
To access the recording toolbar after starting the capture, click the extension logo in the bottom left corner of the screen or select the Guidde extension logo pinned to your browser. Once the toolbar appears, you can:
Pause the recording.
Blur sensitive information.
Take additional screenshots while recording.
Restart the capture.
Delete the current capture.
Hide the toolbar to prevent it from appearing in the captured video.
Reposition the toolbar to the left or right.
Finish the capture process by clicking Done.
9. Capture steps
In this example, I want to show how to access our Help Center. Guidde’s recording tool will automatically track each step I take to show viewers. Every click will be logged as a step, while the time between steps will not be included in the video.
For my first step that I would like to be logged. I scrolled down and clicked on 'Documentation' in the footer menu.
In my second step on a new URL, I clicked the ‘Getting Started’ section in the Help Center. While recording, Guidde easily captures your movement between tabs.
Anything that you accidentally clicked can easily be removed during the editing process.
Here's how it looks when you're in viewing mode. Page includes a Table of contents, a Video Player, and a Document displayed beneath the video.
🗣️ Please note that a voiceover will be automatically applied to your step-by-step guides. You can easily change the speaker in the Voiceover editor.
🖥️ To ensure consistency, all video recordings are standardized to a resolution of 1920x1080 px. This will maintain a uniform and professional appearance across all videos.
🎞️ To maintain clarity, videos are limited to 100 steps, regardless of the subscription plan. This keeps content focused and enhances the user experience for both creators and viewers.
