Arcade Extension

Arcade is the most intuitive way to showcase your product, letting prospective users try before they buy, and turning all users into power users. Create interactive demos in minutes that can be embedded on websites, blog posts, email, or tweets.

How? Just click ‘record’ and Arcade will automatically stitches together all actions (clicks, scrolls, etc), screen captures, videos, and tooltips. Add prompts to the hotspots (and change their color) to provide users with more context, and help push them further into product, and down funnel.

Arcade’s out-of-the-box Analytics help you quickly identify which parts of the product experience resonate most with your audience. Easily adjust demo flows to include new features, or based on what you discover in Analytics. Updates will automatically reflect in published Arcades.

Share Arcade’s interactive demos throughout the customer journey — on your website, in emails, on social, blog posts and changelogs, and even in your application — to help drive interest, and ultimately make all users power users.

Arcade makes it possible for you to lean into the Product-Led Growth movement by showcasing your product right where your customers expect.

Arcade is for marketers, product managers, sales reps, developers, customer support/success managers, or anyone who wants to show, not tell.

Natalie Kwong (ID: 00000000a7792190) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/07/2023 Very intuitive UX and easy for anyone to pick up. The functionality is expansive and it takes very little time to go from a screen recording to a production-level video. We've embedded it already in our onboarding flows within our product and will be using this in our Docs too.

Matt Owen (ID: 0000008cdbf3bc4a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/07/2023 Arcade has been incredibly useful for me so far. I've been using it to build our customer support resources both to send in responses and to host in our help centre. We support in many languages and often help non native speakers and having a perfectly clear visual guide has really helped. Also, it looks cool! We're also starting to experiment with it as a tool for Customer Success and Sales

Fahad T (ID: 0000000cb0b5a2da) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/30/2023 Tried to record a simple product tour and it doesn't work at all. First gave me an error message after it finished doing the upload pictures/videos. Then it shows up in my account in Arcade but does not work at all.
