Overview
Guidde's Automated Video Snippet functionality "runs on the background" and records dynamic motion on your screen in real-time while you perform a step-by-step capture within a single tab.
This feature allows you to seamlessly integrate crucial parts of your process as video clips into your guide, ensuring comprehensive and engaging documentation.
Supported browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge
Available on: all plans
Automatic clips
When you complete the capture and click Done to generate a guide, each guide will automatically include a brief Introduction video clip, up to 5 seconds long.
Example of an automatic Introduction clip:
📌 When using Automated Video Snippet, only the current tab is recorded. If you switch to another tab, the recording will stop.
📌 To ensure this feature works properly, use the extension button to start a capture instead of keyboard shortcuts.
Another type of activity that will generate an automatic snippet is Typing. This allows you to demonstrate form filling, search queries, interactive tutorials, and message composition.
