training video

How-to footage piece

A training video is a recording designed to teach specific skills or procedures, typically for workplace or educational purposes.

Companies use training videos to onboard new employees, demonstrate safety protocols, or standardize instruction: We had to watch a two-hour training video on harassment prevention.

The format ranges from polished corporate productions to awkward low-budget efforts that have become objects of mockery.
