2. Figma Plugin

Turn your Figma designs into interactive demos with Storylane’s Figma plugin. This is a great way to validate ideas before writing a single line of code. Instead of waiting weeks for dev cycles, share clickable mockups with voiceovers, guides, and CTAs to gather real feedback and engagement data.

How it works

1. Install the plugin

2. Export frames

   1. All frames [Recommended]

   2. Or only selected frames

3. Select create new demo and you're all set!

Ensure that every image and video added to your demo share identical dimensions for optimal appearance.

3. Mobile Demos

There are a few ways to capture mobile apps and screens for your interactive demos. Here's a rundown:

👉 [Recommended] Screen share or Wired connection:

• Connect your mobile to your desktop or laptop via screen share (wired, iPhone Mirroring, etc.)

• Record mobile screens directly from your desktop/laptop device via Storylane's desktop app

• For mobile-friendly web apps:

👉 Mobile-friendly view from web apps:

If your product is mobile responsive and can be viewed in a desktop browser, watch this Loom video to capture mobile screens straight from your desktop/laptop browser.

👉 Manual screenshot + upload

• Take screenshots directly from your mobile device

• Upload screenshots to Storylane to create your demo

4. Manual upload

You can always directly upload screenshots, videos, and GIFs directly into Storylane as shown below. Manual upload is a great option if you're using non-Chromium browsers like Microsoft Edge, Firefox, or Opera. Note that manual upload is not applicable to HTML demos, only screenshot demos.

This is particularly useful in scenarios where you may not have direct access to live product screens you want to capture.
