Would you rather: Have a product intro video or create an interactive demo?

Question

I've seen a lot of launches in Product hunt feature an introductory video on the product or an immediate link to an interactive demo of the product

If you were to launch, which one would you add in your launch page and if it's both, why?

Share your thoughts below! Would love to pick your brain on your ideas!

I'd go for the interactive demo - let's make users feel like they're driving the DeLorean in Back to the Future, not just watching it speed by in a video! Who's in for some hands-on futuristic fun?

We made an product video, but now I realize it makes more sense to create an interactive demo.

Answer

great one...i would go for a product intro any day. But heres the catch. It better be an impactful one. If i dont have the time to build that, then an interactive video is more useful and functional. The product intro needs to cut the clutter and communicate the value in an exciting way.

@nemanja_zunic2 Interesting! Interactive demos are quite helpful and give your users a real look at what your product is all about :D
