You're trying out a new product and need some help, so you turn to the company's help center. Do you look for how-to videos or written instructions?

Both. Loom is great for doing short guides, and then doing a transcript (not word for word but a guide following the video) once you've recorded it is easy.
Then you have two pieces of content to publish instead of one :D
@andrew_isherwood1 Definitely, Loom is a good approach here. I'll look that up. Thank you!

It really depends on the complexity of the product! I generally prefer text describing steps with screenshots of the product's interface. But when I was figuring our Google Analytics back in the day, I was grateful to have video tutorials:)
I prefer written instructions over video for detailed information. The text allows me to quickly jump to any area. Furthermore, I frequently need to copy/paste samples or search for a certain topic.
Both.
For myself, some cases I won't watch video because I cannot turn the sound on. So in that case txt works. And then when sound is on or AirPod with me, video is better.
