Launch Week Day 3: Custom Backgrounds and Improvements

Welcome to Supademo's first ever Launch Week

Over the course of the next four days, we'll be announcing an exciting new features each day. On Day 1, we launched Loginless Demos and on Day 2, we launched our

Mac Desktop App.

This is Day 3, where we're announcing improved backgrounds and 5+ other improvements

For Launch Week Day 4, we're adding even more branding options to help you customize the look and feel of your Supademo.

This includes the ability to set custom images as your background, customize background colors, export sizing improvements, and a new hotspot markdown editor.

Check out this example Suapdemo with a custom background image:

To customize backgrounds for your Supademo, simply: Open the Supademo editor;

  1. Click backgrounds under the slide;
  2. Upload a custom image or choose a custom color;
  3. And all links and embeds of your Supademo will be updated. This background will also be quickly accessible across other Supademos in your workspace!

In addition to custom backgrounds, we're releasing a suite of platform improvements including: Archive Demos: accidentally deleted a Supademo? No fear – you Supademo is automatically archived for 7 days before permanent deletion. View and restore a Supademo any time by filtering your dashboard by "Archive" on the top right.

  • Rich Hotspot Editor: easily add styling to your hotspot text – like italics or bolding – without knowing markdown.
  • Other improvements include fixes to the hotspot and text sizing of exported videos, adding an option to remove Supademo in a new tab, mobile hotspot improvements, and performance upgrades.

Learn more about these updates by heading to the Supademo dashboard. Or if you're not yet a customer, try recording a Supademo without an account here.

Frequently Asked Questions about launch week day 3

Commonly asked questions about this topic.

How do custom backgrounds work during the launch phase?

Teams dealing with scale, complexity, or cross-functional coordination tend to see the biggest returns from Launch Week Day 3. SaaS companies, enterprises with distributed teams, and fast-growing organizations often have the most urgent need. The benefits compound over time — early investment in the right approach pays dividends as you scale. Interactive demos see 7x higher conversion rates compared to traditional demo videos. VRIFY saved over $100k by switching to interactive demos for enablement.

Can I apply custom backgrounds to all my content?

Blend self-paced learning with hands-on practice — lecture-style training has low retention for practical skills. Create interactive walkthroughs for tool-specific processes so team members can learn by doing at their own pace. Follow up with regular coaching sessions and a shared knowledge base for ongoing reference. Notably, over 150,000 professionals use Supademo to create interactive demos. RB2B eliminated 60+ hours of sales calls in just 30 days using interactive demos.

What are the benefits of using custom backgrounds?

The top mistakes are starting without clear goals, buying tools before defining process, and failing to measure results consistently. Many teams also underestimate the change management required — new approaches fail not because the strategy is wrong but because adoption is poor. Invest as much in training and communication as you do in technology. For example, VRIFY reduced enablement content production time by 75% using Supademo.

How do I enable custom backgrounds for my account?

Begin with an audit of your current state — identify gaps, redundancies, and quick wins. Select one or two focus areas rather than trying to improve everything simultaneously. Assign clear ownership for each initiative and set 90-day milestones to maintain accountability without over-planning. Teams that update demos weekly or monthly see ~18% higher impact scores.

Are there any limitations with custom background features?

Frame the business case around metrics executives care about — revenue impact, cost savings, or risk reduction. Start with a pilot that demonstrates measurable results within 30-60 days. Present data alongside competitive context: what peers and competitors are doing in this space and the cost of inaction. DBmaestro achieved 80% faster demo delivery after adopting interactive demos.

What improvements were made to the background customization tool?

Interactive demo platforms let you create clickable, step-by-step guides that standardize training and reduce time-to-proficiency. Teams use them for onboarding, process documentation, and stakeholder presentations — anywhere static screenshots or long documents fall short. The visual format typically sees higher completion rates than traditional documentation. For context, Supademo holds a 4.7/5 rating on G2 with top marks for ease of use. 45% of teams adopted interactive demos specifically to solve onboarding friction.

Which file formats are supported for custom backgrounds?

The right tool depends on your team size, technical maturity, and integration requirements. Look for platforms that solve your specific bottleneck rather than all-in-one solutions that do everything adequately but nothing exceptionally. Start with trials or free tiers to validate fit before committing budget — switching costs are high once data and workflows are embedded. Over 150,000 professionals use Supademo to create and share arcade alternatives for 2026s. Easy Software closed $100k+ in contracts using interactive demos in their sales process.
