# Point at the feature, not around it. Overlaid for Product Demos

Source: https://useoverlaid.app/for/product-demos

> Demos lose people at the moment they don't know where to look. Spotlight the part that matters, circle the number, and make every click visible even when the call lags.

## What people say before Overlaid

- So if you look at the top right... no, further right.
- I clicked it. You just can't see that I clicked it.
- Can you see that number? No?

## Scenarios

### Make every click visible

On a laggy call, a click is invisible. Click ripples show a quick ring wherever you click, so people know the page changed because you did something, not because it glitched.

1. ⌃⌥C: Cycle to Highlight clicks.
2. Demo as normal. Every click gets a ring.

### Give them a guided tour

A dashboard is a lot of numbers at once. Spotlight turns it into a sequence: this card, then this one, then the chart.

1. ⌃⌥C: Cycle to Spotlight.
2. Move deliberately. The light follows your cursor.

### Zoom into the small print

The most impressive number on the page is often the smallest. Freeze the screen, [zoom in](https://useoverlaid.app/guides/zoom-in-during-presentation-mac), circle it, and press Esc to carry on.

1. ⌘: In draw mode, hold ⌘ and scroll, or pinch, to zoom up to 8x.
2. E: Circle it while zoomed.
3. esc: Back to the live demo.

## Suggested setup

- **Cursor effect:** Highlight clicks. The safest default for any live demo.
- **Fade:** 5s. Marks explain, then clear before the next screen.
- **Palette:** Brand colours. Your annotations look like part of the product.
- **Toolbar:** Hidden. One less thing on screen that isn't your product.

## Questions

### Will the audience see Overlaid's toolbar?

Only if you leave it open. Hide it with ⌃⌥O and drive everything from shortcuts, and all they'll see is your product and your marks.

### Does it slow down the app I'm demoing?

Overlaid is under 2 MB and draws in a lightweight transparent window. Nothing is recorded or processed in the background. Zoom and the magnifier use Screen Recording only while they're active.

### Can I use it on stage, not just on calls?

Yes. It draws on your Mac's screen, so it works on a projector or a second display exactly the same way. Every connected display gets its own overlay.
