Stop Writing Long Explanations: Record a 2-Minute Walkthrough Instead

TL;DR

Open the material in ShowCam, record with narration and a camera bubble, and share one video. It records what is inside ShowCam only, not other apps.

The pain

You write four paragraphs and attach six screenshots. The reader still asks, “which button?” A two-minute video would have taken half the time.

Why it’s usually hard

Screen recorders capture everything, notifications included. Editing separate camera and screen clips takes longer than the explanation itself.

Using ShowCam

  1. Load the material: photos, a video, a web page or a PDF.
  2. Turn on the camera bubble if you want your face.
  3. Record. Swipe, scroll and tap through the page; point with the laser.
  4. Stop and share.

Habits

Keep it under three minutes. Say the outcome first. Do a quick dry run.

Limits

Only the material inside ShowCam is captured, so open web pages in its own browser.
