live demonstrations

In-person product exhibits

Live demonstrations are real-time performances or exhibitions showing how something works, typically conducted in person before an audience.

A salesperson might offer a live demonstration of kitchen equipment; a software company might stream a live demonstration of new features.

The emphasis on *live* distinguishes these from recorded tutorials or written instructions—viewers can ask questions, see mistakes corrected, and witness authentic results: The product looked great in the live demonstration but failed in actual use.
