Product Introduction
- Arcade Desktop 2.0 is a cross-platform screen recording tool designed to capture interactive or video demos across desktop, browser, mobile, and terminal environments without requiring extensions, screen mirroring, or post-recording editing.
- The core value of Arcade Desktop 2.0 lies in its ability to streamline demo creation by enabling users to record, personalize, and share polished product demonstrations instantly, reducing time-to-delivery while maintaining high visual and functional quality.
Main Features
- Arcade Desktop 2.0 supports multi-environment capture, allowing users to record applications running on macOS (Ventura 13.0 and later), browsers, iOS devices, and terminals in a single session, with automatic resolution optimization for clarity.
- The integrated Avery AI automates post-recording workflows by generating context-aware titles, chapters, and descriptive content tailored to the demo’s purpose, reducing manual input while ensuring consistency in messaging.
- Users can export demos as interactive links, video files (MP4, MOV), or GIFs with customizable quality settings (1080p, 720p) and file size controls, ensuring compatibility with platforms like email, CRMs, or social media.
Problems Solved
- Arcade Desktop 2.0 eliminates the need for fragmented tools by replacing screen mirroring, video editors, and browser extensions with a unified solution for capturing and sharing demos across devices and workflows.
- The product targets marketing teams seeking lead-generation assets, product teams requiring demo-driven development materials, and sales professionals needing personalized, scalable demo libraries for client engagement.
- Typical use cases include creating onboarding tutorials for SaaS products, recording bug reproductions for developer teams, and producing sales enablement content with embedded CTAs for pipeline acceleration.
Unique Advantages
- Unlike traditional screen recorders, Arcade Desktop 2.0 requires no browser extensions or third-party mirroring tools, offering direct capture of iOS apps via its mobile integration and browser sessions through its native desktop app.
- The inclusion of Avery AI introduces automated content generation for titles, chapters, and annotations, a feature absent in competitors like Loom or Camtasia, which rely on manual editing for similar outputs.
- Competitive differentiation stems from Arcade’s Figma plugin integration, which converts static design mockups into interactive demos, and its camera-overlay functionality for adding presenter video/audio to recordings without external software.
