Hotspots are clickable annotations that guide users through each step of your Supademo. They're automatically added when recording with the Chrome Extension and can be fully customized in the Edit view.

  • Add a hotspot: Double-click anywhere on a slide or click Hotspot via the toolbar

  • Reposition: Drag the hotspot to any area on the screen

  • Edit: Click “Edit” on the hotspot to modify text, styling, or actions

Hotspot design options

You can customize your Supademo slides with options from three distinct hotspot designs:

  1. Pointer: This style allows you to point to specific areas on the screen.

  2. Callout: This style allows you to add a general callout anywhere on the screen.

  3. Custom area: This style allows you to highlight specific elements or areas on the screen.

HTML-baesd hotspots have additional options and behave differently from hotspots for screenshot and video-based Supademos.

Global hotspot defaults can also be set on a workspace-wide level through the .

How to change the hotspot transparency

You can adjust the transparency of all of your hotspots by opening your Supademo in edit view, clicking Customize and choose the transparency %.

Add or remove the next and previous buttons

You can add or remove the next and previous buttons on a hotspot callout by opening your Supademo in edit view, clicking Customize and enabling or disabling this option.

Customize the next and previous button text

You can add your own custom labels to hotspot buttons instead of relying on default text. This gives you complete control over the messaging and allows you to create more contextual, branded experiences for your viewers.

Add or remove step counter

For longer demos with many steps, it may make sense to remove the step counter from your hotspot callouts to reduce friction or perception of time investment. To modify this, you can set the value here:


Show/hide text hotspot annotations unless hovered

You can hide the hotspot callout/annotations unless it's hovered upon by a user. You can do this by opening your Supademo in edit view, clicking Customize and enabling or disabling this option.


Change hotspot size

You can choose from three different hotspot sizes - Small, Medium, and Large - to better match your content and design preferences.
