This is a fun one. You can now finally create demos that can automatically go through different screens/actions without requiring user inputs.
Perfect for automating the boring stuff without requiring users to go through it
Easily combine multiple demos in a single library so viewers can pick which demo they'd like to view. To get started, head to the new Showcase tab and create your first one!
You'll get a single link that can be embedded or shared directly.
When you embed demos, you were limited to messing around with HTML to control the size of demo. We've added a button that allows demo viewers to enter full screen mode.
Added the import frame experience. When you add a new frame, it will now get added underneath the currently selected frame instead of at the bottom of the frame menu.
Made it easier to share demos by bringing out the sharing menu on the main menu. You no longer need to go into demo editor to access the share menu.
Fixed an issue where lead capture form would ask for contact details again on demo restart.
Oh this is a fun one! We can now play a preview GIF before the demo starts (or even in the middle of demo). Early results are showing 16% higher engagement and 70% increased sessions for demos that have GIFs in them.
The extension can also record GIFs so you don't have to worry about creating your GIF elsewhere.
Fixed a bug where input forms were being cleared after the demo was recorded.
Added the ability to mark fields as optional or required in the lead capture form. Oh, we also added few new default fields such as:
For those tricky demos where it's impossible to capture the entire product replica, we now have a way to fallback to a static image. By default we'll capture a snapshot of the image at the time the demo was recorded. You can toggle a setting to pick which frame you'd like to revert to image mode.
We've removed the two separate tabs we had previously for your demos and your team member's demos. All of the demos will show now display under the Demo tab. We have added filtering so you can easily find demos you've created.
After our analytics refresh in Jan, this is the next big update. We pushed a bunch of fixes that improve the speed at which the dashboard loads. Queries are now 300% faster, more noticeable for demos with more data. Who doesn't love faster query performance!
Demos can now support POIs along with Hotspots. You can call out a feature or area of the demo that can be self-discovered by viewers.
New integration. Enough said!
You can now introduce a CTA (lead capture form or custom link) at any part of the demo. Previously you were limited to just the start/end of the demo. A/B test away for maximum conversion.
No more stale demos! Lancey can now leverage variables to bring some personalization to your demos. Replace elements in your demo with variables that can dynamically change (from your CRM, through the lead capture form, or loaded through the URL parameters).
Single demo = endless possibilities.
Okay maybe this one should have been there from the beginning but nonetheless its in there now! Rich text editing is at your finger tips so you have greater control over all the text elements in your demos.
Previously you only had the option of importing an entire demo and had to delete unwanted frames. You can now import selected frames instead of the entire demo.
Previously analytics would count all demo sessions, including those that were just loaded but not started by the viewer. Now the analytics screen will only display demos that have been started to avoid incorrect engagement/conversion rates.
Added some controls over link sharing including passcode + expiry dates.
Ever make an amazing demo and wish your coworkers can also use it without ruining your hard work? Well now they can. Clone and templatize demos so they can be re-use across your entire company.
Win win all around!
Welcome to 2023 and with that we have some new gifts! We've improved the demo editor to enable:
Along with the new editor, we've also refreshed analytics to provide more granular insights into your demo performance. We can also group session data from same viewers so you can follow the full timeline of how they've interacted with your demo even if they come back to a demo after few weeks.
Since we're launching new things, we can't forget about the shiny new Chrome extension that was pushed as part of our 2023 release. The new extension can auto-tag all of your demo interactions, has no limit on number of frames captured, and has tons of bugs squashed that existed previously.
