Live demos with zoom & highlights - zero editing
Recording demos and tutorials just got a lot easier.
Showesome Screen Recorder lets you zoom in on key areas and highlight elements live, no editing required.
We just added new highlight colors, hover effects, and a custom cursor — making it even clearer what you want your audience to focus on.
Check it out and let me know what you think — any feature ideas to make recording smoother?
Love the live zoom and highlight approach - that's exactly what makes a demo actually useful vs just a recording.
For feature ideas: have you considered adding voice narration with auto-captions? A lot of demo creators struggle with the combo of showing + explaining. Being able to talk through the action while recording (with optional captions generated) could be a game-changer for accessibility and async viewing.
Also curious if you've thought about templates for common demo flows - like "feature walkthrough" or "bug report" that pre-set zoom levels and highlight styles. Could make it even faster to get started.
Thanks a lot — really appreciate you taking the time to think this through 🙏
You’re spot on about the “showing + explaining” problem. Voice narration (and especially auto-captions) is something I’ve been thinking about, mainly from an accessibility and async-use angle, but I want to be careful not to add friction to the core flow.
Templates for common demo flows is also a great idea. Pre-set zoom and highlight behavior for things like feature walkthroughs or bug reports could help people get value faster without having to think about setup at all.
Feedback like this is super helpful — it’s exactly the kind of direction that helps shape what’s worth building next 🙂
The "friction to core flow" concern is the right instinct. The best features disappear into the workflow rather than adding steps.
One middle-ground: voice could be opt-in at record start (single toggle) rather than a separate editing phase. That way it's there for people who want it, invisible to those who don't.
For templates - starting with 2-3 really tight ones (feature walkthrough, bug report, quick explainer) and seeing which gets adopted most would tell you a lot about how people actually use the tool. Usage patterns beat surveys every time.
Looking forward to seeing what you ship next!
This is really cool. Being able to zoom and highlight live makes explaining things so much clearer, especially for quick demos. Skipping the whole editing step is a big win.
Thanks! 🙂 That’s exactly what I was aiming for — making explanations clearer without the editing hassle. Glad it resonates!
Live zoom and highlights make demos much smoother. Editing usually takes longer than the recording itself.
Doing it in real time feels more natural. Curious where people are using it most — demos, onboarding, or tutorials?

Totally agree 🙂 Real-time interaction just feels more natural and keeps the flow going. So far I’m seeing it used mostly for quick demos and tutorials, especially when people want to explain something fast without editing. Curious to see how other use cases emerge over time!
