Frequently asked
questions (FAQs)

A screen recorder simplifies onboarding by allowing HR and training teams to create consistent tutorials, policy explainers, and process guides. Instead of repeating information live, teams can record once and reuse videos for every new hire. With Cinema8, those recordings can be enhanced with AI subtitles, and interactive quizzes to check understanding, ensuring employees have clear, accessible, and engaging training materials from day one.
Creating onboarding videos with Cinema8’s screen recorder requires no specialist knowledge. The browser-based screen recorder and Chrome extension make it easy to capture screen, webcam, and audio in just a few clicks. Once uploaded, editing and adding interactive features is simple and intuitive. This allows HR teams to produce polished, professional content quickly, without relying on external resources or advanced video editing expertise.
Cinema8 lets you add interactive elements such as quizzes, hotspots, or forms directly into your onboarding videos. These features keep employees actively engaged and allow managers to confirm comprehension. Interactive content also transforms traditional, passive training into a more dynamic experience, helping new hires retain information more effectively while making the onboarding process more enjoyable.
Security is a top priority for Cinema8 and their platform’s security features ensure all onboarding videos are stored safely in a protected library. Access controls allow HR teams to decide who can view each video, keeping internal training private. This makes it possible to confidently share sensitive policy explainers or system walkthroughs without worrying about unauthorised access, while still making content easily accessible to the right employees.
Cinema8 includes built-in analytics that reveal how employees engage with onboarding content. You can see completion rates, quiz results, and interaction patterns, helping managers identify areas where new hires may need additional support. This data turns onboarding into a measurable process, ensuring employees not only watch but also understand the material, ultimately improving training outcomes across the organisation.
