What is Prodeo?
Prodeo (opens in a new tab) is a simple screen-capture video tool built by En Dash as part of the En Dash Toolkit. It allows people to quickly record and share short videos that demonstrate ideas, workflows, products, or features.
The goal is straightforward: make it extremely easy to show something instead of explaining it in text.
Why We Built It
At En Dash, we often needed to share short screen recordings with teammates and with the broader community. The existing tools we tried either required too much setup, complex editing workflows, or specialized knowledge of video software.
Rather than asking everyone to learn tools like After Effects or other professional editing software, we decided to build something much simpler. Prodeo (opens in a new tab) focuses on quick capture, quick sharing, and clear communication.
Show, Don’t Explain
Many ideas are easier to demonstrate than describe. Prodeo (opens in a new tab) makes it easy to record your screen, walk through a workflow, or highlight a product feature in a short video.
Instead of writing long explanations or scheduling a meeting, a quick recording can often communicate the idea faster and more clearly.
Built for Learning and Communication
We use Prodeo (opens in a new tab) across En Dash for both internal and external training, helping teammates and partners quickly understand tools, workflows, and product capabilities.
It’s also frequently used to create product videos, showing how a product works or highlighting new features in a clear and practical way.
A Tool We Built for Ourselves
Like many tools in the En Dash Toolkit, Prodeo (opens in a new tab) started as an internal need. We wanted a fast, simple way to capture and share knowledge without requiring specialized software or video production skills.
So we built it—and it quickly became part of how we teach, explain, and demonstrate ideas.
