All blurs will reset for your next recording

If you blur any part of your screen while recording a Flo, these blurs will be automatically reset the next time you record the same page. So, whenever you record this page again, you won’t see the same sections blurred by default.

‍

More updates to custom branding 

‍

Now you’ll see a different interface with custom branding. By default, the uploaded logo will be displayed on the header's top-left part in the end-user view. Viewers will also see this logo as a watermark in the same position.

The "Try Floik" option will be hidden by default in all paid plans.

‍

Mute audio before starting a recording

‍

You can mute the background noise before you start recording a Flo. This is great if you don’t want to record your original voice and want to add an AI voiceover later.

Introducing Floik for Teams

Now you can create showcases yourself or collaborate with your entire team with a dedicated space for your team. 

‍

‍

You can invite new members to your team or remove anyone. Keep private Flos in My Space and make Flos visible to other members in your team using Team Space. 

You can also do a lot more to seamlessly organize your Flos, such as:

• Create, rename, or delete folders
• Publish folders and copy link for sharing
• Move Flos between different folders and spaces
• See all recently created Flos in the My Space dashboard

Within the Team Space, you can add Flos in the “view only” mode to avoid others making any changes to your work. 

‍

Improvements 

When you generate AI voiceover, a separate script will be created and stored for each language. You can switch between these scripts based on the AI voice avatar selected.

Revamp of My Space with a new folder structure

Until now, you could see a list of folders on the left panel of your dashboard. With the all-new My Space, you can organize your Flos into different folders and see all folders clearly.

‍

‍

Manually add new steps to step-by-step guides 

Add more relevant information to your guides or include details you missed while recording your screen by manually adding a new step. 

To add manual steps in a guide, you can now include the option to upload images for each step. You can add two main types of steps: Title Only and Title + Image.

‍

‍

Once you’ve added a step, you can add the title and description alongside uploading a new image. 

‍

‍

Apply pan-and-zoom effect

You can zoom into any hotspot with a click. Spotlight any part of your screen and focus viewers’ attention on the most relevant detail with the zoom effect. 

Click on the Zoom button next to each hotspot to enable it. You can also move your hotspot to change the position of the zoom effect.

‍

Here's an interactive demo showing the pan-and-zoom effect in action

‍

‍

Generate AI voiceover in 20+ languages 

‍

‍

Now you can add an AI-generated voice in your showcases in over 20 languages. When you record your own voice and generate an AI voiceover, Floik automatically generates a script and creates an AI voice. 

You can choose from multiple languages to meet your users where they are.

‍

Improvements

‍

Create and share mobile-responsive interactive demos

All product demos are now automatically responsive on smaller screen sizes. You can share them via a link or embed them anywhere for a seamless watcher experience. 

‍

Improvement

‍

While sharing any Flo, you can choose if you want to show the author name or not. You can also decide whether you want to display the table of contents or note.

Let prospects choose their own adventure with smart branching

We designed Interaction Cues to help GTM and sales teams emulate a human discussion in a discovery call, right on your website. You can now identify every prospect’s persona, company size, challenges, use case, and more. Then, you can deliver respective interactive demos tailor-made for their needs and goals.

Besides giving end-users a delightful experience, these demos will also help your GTM and sales team collect relevant data points.

‍

‍

Choose from advanced embed controls

You can customize the embed code to change the end-user view of your embedded Flos. You can choose to show or not show the Flo author. It's also possible to show or not show the table of contents for your step-by-step guides specifically.

‍

Reposition mouse clicks effortlessly 

Whether you’re making a how-to guide, a video, or an interactive demo, now you can change the position of your mouse clicks. This is perfect for rectifying any incorrect clicks and pointing viewers to the right direction. Just drag and drop the mouse click anywhere you want.
