Tips

For a physical item, see a product launch teaser video. To show it before it exists, see a product concept video before it exists.

Questions people ask

Can the video show the app working?

Spark can show a phone and a screen lighting up. Real taps and screens are best shown in a screen recording.

Can I put the launch date on it?

Text over video isn't in the app yet. Put the date and link in the post.

Do I need a finished app?

No. You can tease from a photo of a device or words, before it is ready.

Can I show my team?

Yes, with their OK. Add each person's photo.
