Frequently asked questions

A customer onboarding video is a recorded demo and presentation walking new customers through a product or service. These are common for tech companies that need to familiarize customers with their solutions.

Once a customer has signed the contract or has signed up for your platform, you need an easy-to-follow onboarding process so they can learn your product, or familiarize themselves with your solution quickly. The best way to do this is to make one or several onboarding videos that act as tutorials. They can walk customers through your product or service so they can start getting value as soon as possible.

A good onboarding process is very easy to follow along. Rather than a written document, videos make it easy for customers to see every step of what they need to do to use your product or service correctly. If you have a digital platform for your product or service, a great onboarding would include a screen recording of a customer service rep and their screen. Sign up for Tella to get started recording your screen in a couple of clicks.

The length of customer onboarding depends on the complexity of what you’re selling to customers. For consumer technology, a single video or mini-series of tutorials should suffice. For larger enterprise solutions, week or even month-long onboarding isn’t unheard of.
