What is a Product Teaser video?
A product teaser gives an audience a brief preview before a launch or announcement. It builds curiosity while keeping the reveal for a later moment.
When to use a Product Teaser video
Use this format when the audience needs to understand what can be shown before launch, what should remain undisclosed, and when to direct viewers next. It works best when the viewer has one clear reason to watch and the source material supports a useful answer, demonstration or explanation. Before drafting, write down what the viewer already knows and what they should be able to do or explain afterward. That decision helps set the right amount of context and keeps the video from turning into a tour of unrelated material.
- When viewers need a focused explanation of what can be shown before launch, what should remain undisclosed, and when to direct viewers next.
- When a team needs a reusable explanation for product teaser videos.
- When the source material can support a clear, accurate video brief.
A story arc for this format
Use this outline to plan what can be shown before launch, what should remain undisclosed, and when to direct viewers next. Treat the timing and order as editorial choices; adapt them to the source material and the viewer's level of context. Keep each beat focused on one idea, and let the visual prove or clarify what the narration says.
| Beat | What to cover | Review check |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Hook | Open on the audience problem or moment of need. | Avoid a broad promise the video cannot prove. |
| 2. Product proof | Show the feature or workflow that answers that need. | Make the product visible while the narration explains it. |
| 3. Offer | State who the product is for and the next step. | Confirm availability, date and offer details. |
Worked example: product teaser
Illustrative scenario: Before a confirmed launch, a fictional app teases a new workspace view through a few safe details, then directs viewers to the announcement date without showing unreleased controls.
Possible opening line: “A clearer view of your team's work is coming soon.” Use it only as a writing prompt; replace the wording with your product's verified voice, terminology and details. For this format, build the middle around what can be shown before launch, what should remain undisclosed, and when to direct viewers next.
Before publishing, check that the scene supports the spoken claim. Get sign-off on what is safe to reveal and avoid a release date or capability that is not approved.
| Scene | Draft direction | Review question |

In New video, choose Marketing & Growth > Product Teaser. This type gives Claude its own instructions for the brief, script, scene plan, and build. The idea field asks for the details this format needs; answer from your source material, and review the brief and script before building. Correct terminology, sequence, availability details and unsupported claims, then inspect the preview at the intended aspect ratio.
What to prepare
Provide approved pre-launch details, the reveal date if confirmed, what can be shown, and topics or features that must remain undisclosed.
Name the viewer, the point the video should communicate, and any boundaries the script must respect. Gather current interface labels and approved examples; leave unknown facts out or mark them for confirmation.
