How about a nice introductory video when you first log in on Connect?

[#1]

I see new people every day who post in all the sections of the forum, and someone, justified because not well informed before, publish content a little nonsense or in the wrong section, or as an advertisement for his business
In my opinion, the user should be better instructed by sending a vademecum and faq on how to use Connect by e-mail when registering. At the moment I doubt that the new subscriber is going to look for the whole forum how to behave: he simply sign up and publish without reading the "instructions"!
A nice video (just clear slides like a PowerPoint presentation)  of about 2 minutes would not be bad to show the new members at their first login on Connect : here then would be explained in a simple and clear way with the same graphics of the site how to use Connect, with the explanation of all the various sections, how to make a good post, how to tag a person, how insert photos, what are the kudos and how to customize the account! 

And maybe leave it well visible and fixed on the home page that can always come in handy!

Have a good day,

David

Hi @davidhyno,

Thanks for letting me know that we both felt the urgent need to create an introduction video so that it would help everyone including the new joiners. Since we both share similar thought let's hope that our idea gets appreciated and finally implimented.

Hoping for the best!!!

@davidhyno, I agree with your point.

Hi @Harpal,

As you and @davidhyno have shared the same proposal, I decided to merge both threads and votes into one single idea. 🙂 This will help reduce clutter and avoid confusion for other Local Guides that are interested in this topic.​​​​​​

I completely agree with you're idea. I'm new and although I did read the instructions before I signed up my 1st post was not immediate and so maneuvering on connect wasn't as easy as I thought.

The video should explain each section of connect. Where to start a topic, how to contribute, tell us the purpose of the moderator and why kudos matter.

Hi @NancyE@

Thanks for appreciating our idea and understanding the need for an introductory video. We as beginners too had to maneuver around but soon you will be able to understand.

I welcome you onboard and wish you the best. 

Regards,

I agree with you dear @davidhyno,  for video demo on " How to do".

Now days many are more interested to learn by "watch and learn",  not interested in read and learn. 

Also one picture shows thousand words.  At least some picture illustration can be of great help.

Hi @JohnPeter,

Thanks for appreciating our introductory video idea. We both @davidhyno and I believe that a picture is worth a thousand words and felt the need to have an introductory video. Thank you for your support.

Es muy buena idea y además se puede agregar que sea obligatorio reproducirlo al menos una vez
