Product videos and guides for HR and payroll software

Most HR and payroll software companies need one type of product video for each stage of the customer lifecycle where customers get stuck. For HR and payroll software, that means:

• Product demo videos: Show HR leads, payroll managers and finance a payroll run, a time off request and benefits enrollment, with sample employees.
• Customer onboarding videos: Take a new company from its first employee to its first payroll, one step per video.
• Product training videos: Teach HR teams accrual policies, bulk benefits enrollment, performance reviews and custom reports.
• Implementation & setup guides: Walk companies through state tax registration, tax agency access, benefits setup and AI assistant connections.
• Admin & configuration videos: Show HR admins how access levels, approvals and offboarding work before they change them.
• Release notes videos: Explain what changed, from a new benefits setup flow to automatic year-end rate updates.
• Help center & support videos: Answer the questions that spike near payday, like blocked payroll or missing accruals.

Trainn creates each of these from screen recordings. See how video creation works.

HRIS implementation is the process of setting up an HR system for a company: moving employee data in, configuring policies and access, registering for taxes and connecting payroll and benefits. Videos and guides help at each stage:

• Data and setup: adding employees, assigning time off policies and turning on onboarding tasks.
• Tax and compliance setup: registering for state tax accounts when hiring in a new state and giving the payroll provider agency access.
• Benefits: carriers, plans and enrollment rules.
• Access: access levels for employees, managers and custom roles, and who can see salaries.

Step-by-step guides with screenshots suit the steps where exact values matter. See implementation and setup guides for HR and payroll software.

Let the people who know each workflow record it, and let AI do the editing. At most HR and payroll software companies that means sales engineer, product marketing manager, onboarding specialist and customer success manager, none of whom need video skills:

• Record the workflow once in a test account, at a normal pace, with no script or studio microphone.
• Let AI edit. Trainn's AI video agent writes the narration, removes pauses and mistakes, adds zooms and applies your branding.
• Reuse recorded calls. Upload a past onboarding or training call and get short, focused videos from it.
• Keep a reviewer in the loop. The agent never publishes on its own, so a product or compliance reviewer approves every video.
• Get a guide for free. Every video also becomes a step-by-step guide.

Create each video and step-by-step guide once, then publish it wherever HR and payroll teams already look for help, so the answer reaches them inside their work instead of on your website:

• Inside the product. Short walkthroughs shown as in-app guides help HR and payroll teams on the exact screen where they get stuck.
• In the help center. A video and its guide embedded in each help center article answer questions without a support ticket.
• In a branded academy. Onboarding and role-based courses can sit in a branded customer academy, so new users can start on day one.
• In emails and support replies. One share link works everywhere, and when a screen changes the same link shows the updated video.

Trainn's Creator plan costs $19 per month and starts with a 3-day free trial. That's long enough to record one real workflow from your HR and payroll software, such as one setup or support workflow, and publish it as a video and a step-by-step guide before you pay.

• Creator plan: $19 per month for one creator, with up to 15 videos and guides.
• More creators or more content: compare every plan on the Trainn pricing page.
