Record Onboarding Videos

Create reusable onboarding recordings that show new hires exactly how to set up tools, navigate internal systems, and follow team workflows. A library of onboarding videos scales your team without scaling your calendar.

Engineering managers, HR teams, team leads, and operations staff who onboard new employees or contractors

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Map the onboarding checklist

    List every tool and workflow a new hire needs to learn. Record one short video per topic instead of one long monolith.

  2. 2

    Record each tool walkthrough separately

    Open the actual tool with sample data and walk through the daily workflow. Short, focused videos are easier to update when the tool changes.

  3. 3

    Show real examples, not empty states

    New hires learn faster from filled-in boards, real threads, and populated dashboards than from blank templates.

  4. 4

    Narrate institutional knowledge

    Explain the 'why' behind processes — not just 'click here' but 'we do it this way because…'. This context is what documentation usually misses.

  5. 5

    Organize in a shared folder

    Upload all onboarding videos to a Screenify folder and share the link in your onboarding doc. New hires work through them at their own pace.

Screenify features for this workflow

Auto-Zoom

New hires aren't familiar with the UI yet. Auto-zoom magnifies every click target so they can see exactly where to go.

AI Captions

Captions help non-native speakers follow along and make videos searchable — a new hire can find 'how to create a sprint' by searching the transcript.

Webcam Overlay

Putting a face on the walkthrough makes the new hire feel welcomed by a real person, not just a screen recording.

Keyboard Overlay

When teaching keyboard-heavy workflows like terminal or IDE setup, the keyboard overlay shows exactly which keys to press.
