Automate UI demo videos by using Playwright to record web application interactions with a visible cursor overlay and natural pacing. This approach captures reproducible WebM walkthroughs for onboarding or tutorials without requiring manual screen recordings.

Yes, you can record a web app walkthrough with Playwright using its built-in video capture feature. The process adds a persistent cursor overlay to ensure clear demonstrations, outputting a WebM file suitable for presentations and training.

To generate onboarding videos from a target URL, you need Playwright and Node.js installed. You also need a script that drives the browser interactions and captures the video output in WebM format with a cursor overlay.

Playwright video generation supports a visible cursor overlay through this recording script. The persistent cursor overlay ensures clear demonstrations and preserves natural pacing for feature demos and documentation.

The best way to create reproducible UI demos is through automated browser recording. Using Playwright, the script captures a target URL's interactions into a WebM video with natural pacing and a visible cursor overlay.

A limitation of using Playwright for screen recording is that video output is strictly generated as WebM files. Users requiring other video formats must convert the output separately after the recording script finishes capturing the web app walkthrough.
