Don't explain it. Point at it.
StepGuide turns any process into a guide that highlights the real button, on the real page, at the exact moment you need to click it. No video to pause and rewind. No screenshots to squint at. Just: click here, now this, now this.
Three steps, one for each side of the guide
One person records it once. Everyone else just follows the light.
Someone records it once
They click "Start Recording" and simply do the task normally — add an editor, change a setting, whatever it is. StepGuide quietly notes every click.
They send you a link
One link, nothing to install to view it. It opens as a normal webpage — stepguide.suryacreates.com/g/…
You click "Start" and follow along
The real page opens. A highlight shows you exactly where to click next. You do it. It moves to the next step. Done.
A video shows. A guide does it with you.
Videos are great for watching. They're a bad way to actually do something along with them.
What usually happens
- Pause, alt-tab, try to find the button, unpause
- Rewind ten seconds because you blinked
- Their screen looked different from yours already
What happens instead
- The highlight waits for you — no rush, no rewind
- It moves on only after you actually click
- You're on the real, live page the whole time
"I need to give my editor access, but I've never done it before"
This is the exact kind of task StepGuide was built for.
Your editor needs access to your YouTube channel. You're not sure where that setting even lives, and you don't want to give them your password.
Your editor records a StepGuide once — open Settings, click Permissions, invite by email, choose "Editor" — and sends you the link.
You open it, click Start, and StepGuide highlights each of those exact steps on your own screen, on your own YouTube Studio. You click along. Access granted — no password shared, no confusion, no re-explaining next time someone new needs access.
Free because it should be
StepGuide is fully open source. Anyone can read the code, run it themselves, or help make it better.
Free, no tiers
No "5 guides then pay." No watermark to remove. Every feature is available to everyone, always.
Open source
The extension and the backend are both public. Read exactly what it does, or run your own copy.
Nothing to share but a link
Following a guide needs no account, no install, no password handed over. Just open the link.
Stop explaining the same steps twice
Record it once. Send the link. Let the highlight do the explaining.
