Software demos

Hi , I was just wondering what everyone does to remotely demo their software/product to end users?

Yes they can self service/trial from the website etc but sometimes you need to demo it yourself to a client.

I was thinking maybe people use slack/teams/zoom (I used to use gotomeeting a long time ago) but I am interested if anyone uses anything else?

Thanks in advance

    Hi Yes, we usually give live demos through the sessions app.

    I'm building getguidesail.com for cases like this! It's not a replacement for 1-on-1 human interaction but it's pretty good for automated user guiding.

    It's free during beta at the moment so don't hesitate to check it out!

    We currently use Google Meet with screen share. We have tried tools like Betafi, but haven't felt comfortable with them.

    Our tool is pretty simple, so now I have recorded and uploaded a video on the website itself - but I am also just trying and learning. Would love to know your learnings.

    I have built Holoib, a tool that allows users to create interactive product demos. I believe it can be a solution in many cases.

    Jerrod, I use zoom to one-and-one meetings but I also have a pre-saved demo with Loom that I can send before the demo in order to reduce the onboarding.

    I use Screen Studio to record a demo and put it on my landing page. It's really easy to do a polished demo with it.

    We have a guided in-app demo (powered by intercom) and supplement via MS Teams demos as needed. The in-app demo launches right on the other end of our signup process (essembi.com if you want to see it in action to get ideas).

    Hi Jerrod,

    I use Zoom. I open a live window of the application and I have a few prerecorded videos along with a google doc which has the demo agenda outlined.

    I hope this helps.
