Most Popular Types of Training Video
Instructor-Led Videos
The instructor-led or talking head training video is a video version of in-person training. These videos involve a person or a presenter who explains things by speaking all the facts. These videos are based on the instructor's expertise, allowing the businesses and organizations to demonstrate the content.
Businesses and organizations can use instructor-led training videos if they have an in-house expert.
Screencast Videos
Want to train your employees or general audience for a particular software? Screencast videos can serve the best! Recording the screen videos (in terms of tutorials and demos) with a narration (by recording voice-over) is what we call the screencast training video.
The software-related companies utilize this video type to help customers learn the features.
How-to Videos
Guiding users through a process or demonstrating a particular task is what a How-tto video is all about! Social media platforms have more how-to videos where the audience search, learn and train themselves by seeing the instructor.
A How-to video can be on any topic, demonstrating the step-by-step process to guide the learners.
