The product demo video maker without the editing grind.
You don't edit a good demo — you record it well. Chairkick captures your screen and face in the browser, trims the rough edges, and turns it into a share link that tells you who watched.

How to make a product demo video
The demos that convert aren't polished films — they're a real person showing the real product. Ten minutes, five steps.
-
1.Write three bullet points, not a script
The problem, the moment your product solves it, what to do next. A full script makes you sound like you're reading — bullets keep you human.
-
2.Check your mic
Bad audio kills demos faster than bad visuals. Run the 10-second mic test before you hit record.
-
3.Record your screen with your face in the corner
Start a Chairkick recording, share the product window, and keep the camera bubble on — prospects trust demos with a human in them. One take is fine.
-
4.Trim, don't edit
Cut the fumbled start and the trailing "so, yeah". Chairkick trims on the timeline or by clicking words in the transcript — no timeline software to learn.
-
5.Share the link and watch who watches
Send one unlisted link in your email or proposal. Chairkick shows you views, so "did the prospect watch the demo?" stops being a mystery.
Built for demos that sell.
See who watched.
Every demo link reports its views — follow up with the prospect who watched twice, not the one who never opened it.
Viewers always free.
Prospects and teammates watch without accounts or seats. You pay per recorder, never per viewer.
AI does the summary.
Each demo gets a transcript, chapters, and an AI summary — skimmers get the gist, buyers get the detail.

Frequently asked questions
What's the best way to make a product demo video?
Record a real walkthrough: your screen, your voice, your face in the corner. Skip heavy editing — trim the start and end, and ship it the same day. Prospects prefer an authentic 3-minute walkthrough over a produced 30-second trailer they don't quite believe.
How long should a product demo video be?
Two to five minutes for outbound sales demos; up to ten for onboarding walkthroughs. Chairkick's chapters and AI summary let busy viewers jump to the part they care about, which takes the pressure off keeping it short.
Can prospects watch without signing up?
Yes. Chairkick share links are unlisted and open to anyone — no account, no download, and viewers never cost you a seat.
Can I see whether a prospect watched my demo?
Yes — each recording shows its views, so you know whether the demo landed before your follow-up call.
Do I need video editing skills?
No. Recording is one click, and cleanup is trimming on a timeline or clicking words in the transcript to cut them. If you can use a word processor, you can cut a demo.
Your product deserves a demo people actually watch.
