Have you considered whether or not your Video Guides are effective – especially on mobile devices? Considering how popular Mobile Devices are nowadays it is a safe bet that a sizable chunk of your audience may be watching your video using them. Unfortunately, few people know how to create video guides that are perfect for these devices.

The trick to doing so is to keep your eye on one specific area: Screen size. Although many mobile devices nowadays have high resolutions, the screen size of these devices is still much smaller than computers – especially in the case of smartphones. As a result a lot of details that may be clear on larger screens will be obscure or even completely lost on smaller screens.

To get around this, you should try to focus your video guide more closely on the main element or ‘zoom in’ if possible. For example if you’re showing a scene where you guide the user through the process of using an app, instead of showing the full screen view (which may be fine for a monitor), you should ‘zoom in’ on the app itself to make the video more friendly even with smaller screens.

It is possible to edit your video guides after the fact to ‘zoom in’, but ideally it is something that should be carried out when recording. By planning ahead, you’ll end up with a video that is able to cater to mobile devices perfectly.

Assuming you want to use a screen recorder on Windows to create video guides, Movavi Screen Capture should definitely be on your shortlist. Its user-friendly and intuitive nature will help you to record the footage that you need easily, even if you have no experience using any sort of screen recorder in the past.

In this particular case, Movavi Screen Capture is doubly useful because of how versatile it is. Using it you’ll be able to draw attention to important areas in your video guide more easily, because of its features that will let you determine the capture frame as well as record keyboard and mouse actions and make them more noticeable.

By covering all the bases when recording your video guides with Movavi Screen Capture, you should be able to ensure that they are extremely effective on mobile devices. With the way the popularity of mobile devices is continuing to grow unabated, it is a safe bet that in the future this will become ever more important.
