A free extension for easy How-To videos

Who doesnā€™t like seeing their face on camera or hearing themselves talk? šŸ™‹

Unfortunately for those of us in that boat, thereā€™s no substitute for capturing knowledge via video. Thatā€™s why How-To videos are the top-4 category on YouTube, according to the team at Guidde.

The Guidde browser extension is attracting new users with its launch today, and not just because it lets you skip having your voice and image in your recording. Guidde helps you create guided How-To videos that would normally require multiple tools and hours of animation with ease. As one user put it, ā€œFinally someone created a tool that lets me easily generate a video without the hassle of a video.ā€

How it works: When you record a video with Guidde, it automatically creates highlights and call-outs for your workflows. You can then edit and enhance your videos like you would a PowerPoint. When the video is done, you can share it in a click as a GIF, share it as a page with steps automatically broken down into its parts, or export or embed the video file.

When to use it: Guidde doesnā€™t have to be a literal alternative to video recording tools like Loom (even the Guidde demo video itself is a screen recording with voice-over.) But it could help team members who tend to revert to text and screenshots over video to explain themselves. Many users also instantly saw the immediate benefit of using such a tool for their help centers and support channels. And donā€™t forget about those YouTube videos.

The extension is free, so go ahead and it a try for your next explainer.
