What is a training video

A training video is a short, structured video designed to teach viewers how to perform a task, understand a process, or apply new knowledge. Unlike lengthy manuals or static presentations, training videos show rather than tell – making complex topics easier to grasp, especially for new employees or employees of remote teams.

Why are training videos for employees important?

Training videos are one of the most effective tools for transferring knowledge at scale. Whether you're onboarding new employees, explaining a complex tool, or scaling internal processes, video delivers clarity, consistency, and efficiency – anytime, anywhere.

Unlike static documents or live sessions, training videos combine visual guidance with on-demand access. This not only boosts engagement but also improves retention and ensures everyone receives the same high-quality information.

Key benefits of training videos:

  • Higher learning retention: Viewers remember up to 95% of video content compared to just 10% from text.
  • Scalable and cost-effective: Create once, share endlessly. Save time and resources by replacing repetitive live training.
  • Accessible on-demand: Employees can learn at their own pace, no matter the location or time zone.
  • Consistency across teams: Everyone follows the same process, helping maintain quality and alignment.
  • Engagement through visuals: Videos simplify complex topics using voice, motion, and screen capture.
  • Faster onboarding and fewer mistakes: Shorten ramp-up time and reduce errors with clear, visual instruction.
Tips

Tips for creating effective training videos for employees

Creating training videos doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few smart steps, you can turn your knowledge into engaging, professional content - even without prior video experience.

  1. Define the goal
    Start with a clear objective: What should viewers learn or be able to do after watching? Keep the scope focused – one goal per video works best.
  2. Know your audience
    Tailor tone, language, and complexity to your viewers’ needs. Are they new employees or experts? This will shape your content and delivery.
  3. Script and storyboard
    Plan before you record. Write a short script or list bullet points, and sketch a simple storyboard. This helps structure your video and avoid rambling.
  4. Keep it short and clean
    Aim for videos under 5 minutes. Cut anything that doesn’t serve your core message. Add subtitles, text overlays, and highlights to boost retention.
  5. Test before you share
    Show your video to a small group. Is the

Types of training videos

Training videos come in many formats – and choosing the right one depends on your audience, topic, and training goals. Here are five effective types that cover a wide range of use cases:

Screencast videos

Record your screen to walk viewers through software, tools, or digital workflows. Simple to create – powerful for onboarding and support.

Presenter-style videos

Put someone in front of the camera to build trust and explain complex topics in a personal way. Combine with slides or visuals for more impact.

Scenario-based videos

Simulate real-life situations to train soft skills or demonstrate the right way to handle tricky moments.

Interactive training videos

Let learners choose their own path. Add clickable decisions, quiz elements, or branching scenarios.

How-to tutorials

Step-by-step guidance to complete a task. Can be recorded with screencast, presenter, or even your phone.
Tip: You can combine several formats in one training program – for example, pair a screencast with a welcome video to create an engaging onboarding experience.
