When the slides are not enough or do not turn out to be the best resource for certain types of explanations, the programs to record screens appear as an excellent alternative. For example, to make explanations for clients as simple as possible, it is often best to use short videos that contain tutorials that detail how to carry out an activity at each step.
Screen recording programs are often the best tools when it comes to creating easy-to-follow presentations: not only because they allow you to visually follow instructions, but also because they can be accompanied by oral explanations and supporting sounds to make them more entertaining. For example, all screen-recording videos currently created on YouTube to explain how to do something.
In another of their uses, these programs can also allow your customers to show you what their problems are with a service. In this way, these kinds of programs can be very effective in guaranteeing adequate customer service.
