Use case workflow
Support videos
A practical workflow for recording support videos that explain a fix, clarify a customer question, or hand context to another team.
The problem
Support videos are most useful when they are short, specific, and safe to share. The recording should show the exact setting, workflow, or workaround without exposing private customer details.
Recommended recording setup
- Start from the same product area, role, or permission level the customer is using.
- Record a clean reproduction or answer path before adding narration.
- Keep the customer question visible in notes, not in the recording frame.
- Prepare redaction for account names, emails, tokens, invoices, and internal URLs.

Export settings
- Use MP4 when the video needs to work across ticketing systems and chat tools.
- Keep the recording short enough that the customer can watch it inside the thread.
- Choose resolution based on UI readability, not maximum file size.
- Use a filename that includes the ticket topic, product area, and date.
