What is a Click-Through Demo?
A click-through demo is a guided, clickable simulation of a product that lets users experience its key flows by clicking through predefined steps.
A click-through demo captures a product's screens and lets a viewer advance through them by clicking, usually along a guided path with tooltips or prompts. Because it is often a simulation rather than the live app, it requires no login or setup and is common in sales and marketing.
A click-through demo is a focused type of interactive demo, typically more linear and scripted. It differs from a live product walkthrough, which a person presents in real time, and from a demo video, which cannot be clicked at all.
If you build or narrate a click-through demo using the real product, clear cues help viewers track each step. Limelight is a macOS menu-bar overlay: the cursor spotlight (⌃⌥1) highlights the pointer, keystroke display (⌃⌥2) shows shortcuts as you press them, and freehand drawing (⌃⌥3) lets you circle the next click. Limelight does not generate or host click-through demos; it only overlays helpful visuals on your live screen.

FAQ
- How is a click-through demo different from an interactive demo?
- A click-through demo is a specific, usually linear kind of interactive demo built from captured screens. Interactive demos can be broader, with more branching and input.
- Is a click-through demo a recording?
- Usually not. It is a clickable simulation the viewer advances through, unlike a demo video, which plays passively from start to finish.
