Frequently asked

Video analytics give customer support teams visibility into how customers engage with tutorials and help centre videos. Cinema8’s heatmaps and replay data reveal which steps users find unclear, helping teams identify common friction points. By spotting where viewers rewind, pause or abandon the video, support managers can refine scripts, update visuals or add clarification. These improvements lead to better self-service outcomes and fewer repeat tickets for the same issue.
Heatmaps show exactly which parts of a support video customers interact with. High concentrations of rewinds may indicate confusing steps, while repeated skips highlight content that users find unnecessary or already understood. Drop-off points often signal where viewers lose confidence in the instructions. By analysing these patterns, support teams can adjust explanations, simplify sequences and improve the clarity of guidance across onboarding, troubleshooting and help centre videos.
When support videos show consistent rewinds or early drop-offs, it’s often a sign that customers struggle with specific actions or terminology. Cinema8’s analytics for customer support teams highlight these issues, allowing teams to refine their videos or update related help articles. Over time, clearer explanations reduce the volume of repetitive queries and allow support agents to focus on more complex requests rather than answering the same question repeatedly.
Support teams can run simple A/B tests to compare two versions of a help video and see which one performs better. Completion rates, engagement time and heatmap patterns show how each version helps viewers progress through the instructions. This is especially useful when updating onboarding steps, revising troubleshooting content or improving scripts for products that change frequently.
Support teams typically see the best results when placing improved videos within help centre articles, onboarding flows, product dashboards and troubleshooting guides. Embedding videos near the steps they support makes it easier for customers to follow along. Because Cinema8 tracks engagement wherever the video is embedded, support managers can monitor performance across multiple channels and refine content based on real usage patterns.
