We’ve all been there—wasting hours recreating product demos, customizing them for every audience, and hoping they land. That’s why we've been building Supademo: interactive demos that work, every time.
2024 was a game-changer. However, the real story is how interactive demos are reshaping B2B SaaS. The days of “let me walk you through our platform” are fading. Modern GTM teams need scalable, engaging ways to showcase products and workflows for every use case, internally & externally.
Here’s 2024 at a glance:
- 33,000+ users joined Supademo (4x from 2023)
- 62,000+ Supademos created (3x from 2023)
- 12,000,000+ unique viewers interacted with a Supademo (3x from 2023)
But this isn’t just another “year in review.” We’ve analyzed how teams are winning with Supademo and the top 100 most-viewed demos of 2024 to uncover what drives results. Think of it as your playbook for creating impactful demos in 2025.
Notable features from 2024
Building on 2023’s momentum, we focused on making Supademo the most flexible interactive demo software yet. The result? A better Supademo that empowers you to create more engaging—and now personalized—interactive demos. While we shipped hundreds of features and improvements, these standouts transformed how teams create impact.

- Dynamic variables — inject personalization, e.g., first name & company, in chapters, titles, hotspot texts, and CTAs;
- Commenting – collaborate with Creators and Viewers on your workspace to iterate on better Supademos!

How teams are winning with Supademo
Last year’s core use cases—documentation and pre-sales—haven’t just stuck around; they’ve evolved to become more specific. At the same time, we’ve seen a broader variety of use cases emerge, with marketing teams (36%) and cross-functional implementations (29%) pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
Let’s break down what’s working across departments:
Multi-Use Teams (29%)

- Or any other combination of the below.

- Product tours — qualify leads with self-paced interactive demos on homepages, landing pages, and blog content;
- Feature launches — guide and educate customers by embedding Supademo in product updates;
- In-app education — educate users on new features in-context by using in-app tours within your app.
Training & Education (13%)
- New hire onboarding — train new hires or existing staff on SOPs, workflows, internal tools;
- Accelerate feedback — share workflows, feedback, and product ideas quickly and async;
- Education — increase information retention with interactive guides that encourage learning by doing.
Customer Success Teams (12%)
- Product onboarding — use for guided, self-paced onboarding;

Key traits of high-performing Supademos
What actually makes a demo engage viewers? We analyzed our top 100 most-viewed demos in 2024. Here's what works—we turned them into actionable tips that you can implement right away:
Distribution that drives views
You can have all the bells and whistles, but distribution is half the battle.
- Strategic embedding, e.g., homepage, landing pages, and feature updates;
- Multichannel campaigns, e.g., onboarding emails & sales sequences;
- Self-serve support systems, e.g., docs & knowledge bases.
Logical structure
- 7-10 steps — don’t turn every click into a step but prioritize value-adding moments;
- Chapters at natural breakpoints;
- Good mix of interactive steps & webcam + screen capture.
Engagement drivers
- Variety of contextual hotspots providing explanation that may not directly be evident from the demo recording;
- Personalization that hooks viewers;
- Regular revisions based on engagement data in viewer analytics.
