📂 Personal folders: Organization is not just for your team. Now you can create folders just for you in 'My workspace.'
📜 Collections sidebar: Easily navigate through a collection with an interactive menu.
✍️ Per-Arcade branding: Customize the share button, watermark, and logo for each Arcade.
🔍 Navigation bar: Choose the navigation experience on an Arcade or theme level.
🖼 Design tab: Upload images and add stickers to any image for post-capture editing
📂 Folder re-ordering: Easily organize folder structures by drag-and-dropping
🌎 More languages: Norwegian voices are now available with synthetic voiceover
⬆️ Upload location: Images and videos that are uploaded to an Arcade will now be added after the current step highlighted, not at the end of the Arcade.
🔍 Hotspot and callout scaling: Made improvements to how hotspots and callouts scale based on Arcade size and available space. This update is designed to improve the viewer experience if the Arcade is being shown on a relatively small screen or a very wide screen.
Concise on the front, standardized on the back. Choose the name you want your audience to see for an Arcade without needing to remove any existing nomenclature your team may use to keep Arcades organized.
Said differently... your customers don't need to see "Product Demo V6 [FINAL FINAL]" anymore 😊
Yes, it's here! Sharing context is not just for static steps. Now, you can include hotspots and callouts for any motion steps to give additional context or guide your viewer to a specific part of your product.
Last week was focused on squashing lots of bugs!
Multiple Arcades. One landing page.
Collections is our latest feature designed to transform how you share your demos. By combining multiple Arcades into a single, streamlined landing page, you can tell a more cohesive story about your product — whether that's for a changelog or a sales leave-behind.
Progress through an Arcade without having to click on a (visible) hotspot or callouts.
Previously, form submissions were shown on the Insights page for each demo. Now, you can get a holistic view of submissions in the 'Leads' tab, saving yourself lots of steps and having to remember which Arcades included forms.
The end-viewer experience is even more intuitive with speed controls, elapsed time indicators, combined controls, and navigation.
Check out our March Changelog blog post to see all of last month's updates wrapped into one!
Over the past few months, we have invested in providing more detailed and actionable insights for your demos. Some of the features we introduced include audience reveal and integrations. In February, we rolled out more updates to Insights to allow you to get more granular data.
Callouts allow you to share more context while keeping your viewer engaged.
Now, you can make it more apparent where a callout is pointing with directional arrows.
Never miss another form submission. Configure webhooks to sync form submission data back to your tools in real-time.

*Available on our Enterprise plan.
Custom variables enable you to personalize your Arcades at scale and understand the performance of selected audiences -- all from one demo.
Now, you can close the loop on the customer journey by adding custom variables in URLs on call-to-action buttons.
Example CTA & use cases:
Tracking performance has never been easier. Filter by 'tags' or 'folders' to get a cohesive view across Arcades.
Since launching background music last year, we've seen (and heard!) so many Arcades that have an extra bit of polish. Now, you can set the volume level for even more customization.
Choose a background to make your Arcade pop -- whether that's a branded image or a set color.
Nine(!) new integrations to collect, understand, and act on your Arcade event data including Google Analytics, Amplitude, Segment, PostHog, and more.
Separate or isolate parts of step images for a more focused viewer experience.
Choose the pace of your demo with customizable interaction controls.
Detailed timestamps for trimming and skimming.
Last November, we announced that we had rebuilt our video generation and rendering framework to ensure that video and GIF exports were on par with interactive Arcades.
Since then, our engineering team has been working to make this process even faster.
And when we say faster, we mean at least 21x faster! 🏎
Last week we shipped forms (see below 👀 👇 ) and we were just getting started!
Now, you can add multiple-choice fields to any form and never miss a lead with the form submission email.
*These features are available on our Growth plan.

Improved navigation experience to create personalized Arcades at scale through unique URLs and custom variables.
Little Arcade frame? No problem. Images are now just as clear, no matter the size.
No matter the length, URLs can be added to callouts and will wrap format correctly.
Make sure your audience doesn't miss a beat. We've improved the audio controls to make it clearer and more seamless for your audience to know that your Arcade has audio and that they can choose their preferences.
Sound is ON by default; however, if you create an Arcade with autoplay you can force sound OFF.
Easily access previous invoices from within the billings tab in settings.
One of Arcade's most loved features, Pan and Zoom, just got even better! Now, for steps where the URL between clicks is the same and automatic Pan and Zoom frame is applied.
This features is designed to focus your audience and save you time on editing.
What makes this feature even more powerful is that it calibrates to where you clicked and the screen will smoothly move with the mouse.
We released our inaugural 'Your Year in Demo' campaign which gives creators a personalized recap into how they built, published, and grew with Arcade in 2023.

What's New
Arcade Adventure is here!
Introducing a new suite of tools designed for seamless, personalized, and beautiful storytelling at scale.
We rebuilt our export infrastructure to move from analog to frame-by-frame rendering. With this rewrite, you’ll notice a much higher-quality export that resembles the original Arcade. We’ve also been able to add the audio capabilities quite easily.
