What are help center & support videos for cybersecurity software?

Help center and support videos for cybersecurity software answer one stuck question each, such as why a user can't sign in after a phone change. They help because people often reach the documentation already blocked from work and want a fix in minutes. Trainn creates them from screen recordings and recorded support calls.

Frequently asked questions

How do help center videos reduce support tickets for cybersecurity software?

Help center videos reduce support tickets by answering the questions IT and security teams ask most, at the moment they get stuck, with a short visual answer they can follow without waiting for a reply. How it works for cybersecurity software:

  • Answer the repeat questions first, such as “why can't I sign in after getting a new phone” and “why isn't the agent on my Mac yet”.
  • Show the clicks instead of describing them. Visual tasks are where text articles fail and tickets get opened.
  • Put answers where people look: in the help center, inside the product and in support replies.
  • Keep them current, so customers don't follow an old screen and open a ticket anyway.
  • Measure which answers work by checking which videos get watched and where viewers stop.

See how to write step-by-step guides that reduce support tickets.

How do you add videos to a cybersecurity software knowledge base?

Record each answer once, then embed the video and its step-by-step guide in the matching knowledge base article, so customers can watch or scan in the same place. Steps for a cybersecurity software knowledge base:

  • Start with the most-viewed articles, such as the ones answering “why can't I sign in after getting a new phone”.
  • Record the fix in a test account, never a customer's account you opened to troubleshoot.
  • Embed one share link per article. When the screen changes, update the video and every article shows the new version.
  • Add the written guide below the video for people who prefer to read or copy exact values.
  • Show the same answer inside the product with in-app tutorials.

Trainn works with your knowledge base; see how to turn screen recordings into knowledge base videos.

Which support questions should become videos first?

Start with questions that arrive every week, need several screens to answer and leave customers stuck until they're solved. For cybersecurity software, that usually means questions like these:

  • Why can't I sign in after getting a new phone?
  • Why isn't the agent on my Mac yet?
  • Why is a device missing from the dashboard?
  • Why does my security report show missing data?
  • Why did my log stream stop sending data?

Then add questions that come up after each release. Trainn's video analytics show which answers get watched, so you can see which videos are working and which questions still need one.
