A face and a voice make a walk-through feel personal. Record both with your screen, then place the bubble where it fits.

  5. 5

    Step 5 of 5

    Change the layout over time

    Make the camera full screen for the intro, a bubble while you demo, or hide it for a stretch.

That's it. You're done.
