Product Hunt lets makers add a YouTube video to the launch gallery. That is useful when motion proves the value faster than a still image: a workflow, an interaction, an animation, or the before-and-after result of using the product.
The video should earn its place. Lead with the real product, keep the story focused on one valuable job, and make the result readable without relying on narration. A slow logo animation or generic trailer adds less than a concise demonstration.
Make the video from the same capture and brand system as the rest of the launch set. Export the MP4, upload it to YouTube before launch, and add its full URL to Product Hunt. Then reuse that capture for your Product Hunt gallery images so the whole launch looks like one set.
The result of using your product lands in the first 3 seconds. No logo intro, no loading screen, no build-up.
Long enough to show the core loop, short enough that people finish it. Every second should earn its place.
Most people scroll the gallery muted. On-screen labels carry the story so narration is a bonus, not a requirement.
A screen recording of the actual UI, not a slide deck about the product. Realism is what converts.
Upload the finished MP4 ahead of launch, keep the video public or unlisted, and add the full YouTube URL to the gallery.
Same brand background and frame as your slides, so the launch reads as one coordinated release.

Also making an app? The app demo video maker exports the same capture at App Store preview sizes.
No. A video is optional, but it can help visitors understand a product whose value is clearer in motion than in still screenshots. Product Hunt supports YouTube videos in the gallery, so the practical test is whether a short product demonstration adds information your images cannot.
Product Hunt currently accepts video through a full YouTube URL rather than a direct MP4 upload. Export your finished video from Screenhance, upload it to YouTube ahead of launch, make sure it is not private, and paste the full URL into the gallery. The 1270 by 760 recommendation applies to gallery images, not the hosted video.
Record a short screen capture of your product, then drop it into a Screenhance launch template. The frame, background, padding, captions and zoom controls are ready in a focused visual timeline. Adjust the important moments, then export.
No. Screenhance runs in the browser on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Recording works on Chromium desktop, and you can edit and export anywhere. You are not locked into a macOS-only tool, and there is nothing to install.
You can record, edit and preview a watermarked video for free. Clean MP4 export without the video watermark is included in Screenhance Pro at 12 dollars a month or 99 dollars a year. The 6 dollar Launch Pass removes watermarks from image exports only, so it does not remove the video watermark.
Yes. The launch video and the still gallery images come from the same capture and brand kit. Build the slides with the Product Hunt gallery generator and the video with this door, so your launch-day gallery looks like one set instead of four ad-hoc assets.
Have it finished the week before launch, not launch morning. Product Hunt days start at 12:01 am Pacific, and you want the gallery and video locked before you go live so you can spend launch day replying to comments, not re-exporting media. See our launch checklist for the full timeline.
Launch day needs more than a gallery. You'll also want matching App Store & Play screenshots, an OG image, and a website hero. Upload your screenshots once and Launch Kit generates them all, on-brand and matching.
