Video or written content? How do you prefer to read product help guides/documentation? 🛠

by
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?

I prefer both, a video first to get a first glimpse of the product, I would then read any written specifications.

I prefer documentation for it lets me jump to sections I am interested in and also lets me copy code snippets & commands.

If it's documetation, I preferred it written, and in a concise and comprehensible way, with examples. However, if it is some sort of a "how-to" guide, i'd prefer a video.

Usually how-to videos, but if they're too long, I skim through articles. The more engaging and to the point the content is, the better. I did a ton of research on this when building searchegg.io, most users don't even go to the help center even when they're stuck, and the ones that do, don't stick around for long. Curious to know if that's your experience too
