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.
📌 If you initiate a capture with a keyboard shortcut or via the web app (rather than via Guidde browser extension), it may not work correctly due to permission issues.
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.
