What is a product demo video?

Definition

A product demo video shows a product being used to solve a specific problem, focusing on the key moments that make it valuable. For software, it is usually a narrated screen recording of 1 to 3 minutes.

Demo video vs. explainer video

An explainer video focuses on the why: the problem and the idea. A demo video focuses on the how: the product in action. SaaS homepages often combine them.

What a good demo includes

A clear problem statement, three product moments, proof such as a customer result, and one call to action.
