Present your Figma designs with professional video walkthroughs that stakeholders can review asynchronously. Auto-zoom makes every design detail visible.
Sharing a Figma link and hoping stakeholders navigate your file correctly rarely works. They get lost in layers, miss important frames, or focus on the wrong details. A recorded walkthrough guides them through your design decisions exactly as you intended — with every detail visible thanks to auto-zoom.
Follow these steps for the best results.
Clean up your Figma file before recording. Organize frames in presentation order, hide work-in-progress layers, and name your pages clearly. If you're showing a user flow, arrange frames left-to-right in the order viewers should see them.
Start with a zoom level that shows the overall layout or page structure. Zumie will handle the detail zooming when you interact with specific elements. Don't start zoomed into a single component — give viewers the big picture first, then drill down.
Click on each frame or screen in order, pausing for 2-3 seconds on each one. Avoid rapid panning across the canvas. If frames are spread out, use Figma's page navigation or the layers panel to jump between sections cleanly rather than dragging the canvas.
When you want to highlight a specific UI element, hover over it or click it. Zumie's auto-zoom magnifies the area, making typography, spacing, icons, and color choices clearly visible. This is especially valuable for showing subtle design decisions that get lost in a static screenshot.
Send the Zumie recording link alongside your Figma link. Stakeholders watch the walkthrough first to understand your thinking, then open Figma to inspect details or leave comments. This two-step approach gets you better, more informed feedback.
Level up your results with these expert techniques.
For final design presentations, switch to Figma's presentation mode (prototype view) before recording. This hides the toolbar, layers, and panels, giving a clean, distraction-free view of your designs.
If you've built interactive prototypes in Figma, record yourself clicking through them. The combination of prototype interactions and Zumie's auto-zoom creates a compelling demo that shows how the final product will feel.
Don't just show the design — explain why you made specific choices. 'I chose a larger button here because this is the primary conversion action' gives stakeholders context they can't get from the design alone.
Constant zooming on the Figma canvas creates a nauseating experience. Instead, set a comfortable zoom level and use auto-zoom for the detail work. Navigate between frames at a consistent zoom level.
A silent walkthrough of screens invites uninformed feedback. Stakeholders who don't understand your reasoning will focus on surface details instead of strategic choices. Always narrate the 'why' behind your design.
Don't walk through every version and iteration. Show the final (or near-final) design and briefly reference alternatives only when the comparison is useful. Stakeholders get confused when they see too many options.
Watch how Zumie's auto-zoom and click highlights transform a basic screen recording into a polished, professional video.
Yes. Open your Figma prototype in a browser tab and record with Zumie. Click through the prototype naturally and Zumie's auto-zoom will magnify the areas you interact with. This creates a polished preview of your design in action.
Use edit mode when explaining design structure, layers, and component details. Use presentation mode for polished walkthroughs meant for non-designer stakeholders who just need to see the end result.
Record each page as a separate video, or clearly narrate when you switch pages. Pause for a moment on the page navigation panel so viewers can see which page you're moving to.
