Video or written content? How do you prefer to read product help guides/documentation? 🛠

You're trying out a new product and need some help, so you turn to the company's help center. Do you look for how-to videos or written instructions?

Video explanation is quite handy and time saving.

Demo videos for quick help and thorough product docs for deeper explanation

@dylan_merideth Probably the best strategy, I agree. Thank you! :)

@dylan_merideth Hey, nice seeing you here too, i noticed you from indiehackers. Love the vapour wave aesthetic btw.

For detailed information I prefer written instructions over video. I tend to get bored by videos while text allows me to go to any section easily. Additionally most of the time I need to copy/paste samples or search for a specific topic. For a presentation or features introduction, video is probably better.
Neri Raanani
You mentioned interesting scenarios, some of which I had not thought about and should be taken into consideration. Thank you for sharing!

I prefer both videos and written instructions. This allows me to understand as accurately as possible what the new product is like.

@new_user_11620223ff4de5436 My thought exactly. Thanks!

I prefer to watch if there is any how to videos rather than written content. But for more detailed information I'm looking at documents.

@sergul_sungur1 Same here 💪

Both. Written content will probably give me more information, but a page with video content would be more interesting.
Neri Raanani
@selman_babayigit That's what we're aiming for! Thanks for your comment! 💪

I'd take both of them.

Both? Haha it really depends on the topic. If it's a quick guide or questions answerable by 1 or two words/sentences, I'd go for text. But if it's more about technicality, I usually prefer video. But if it doesn't work, I resort to written content. I think that's why both video and written content is important and a valuable factor for Google algorithm.

@iyamendoza01 I definitely agree with you! Thanks for sharing!
