Presenter demo / 01:06 / Published 2026-03-05

The Codex app is now on Windows

A presenter-led walkthrough alternates full camera coverage with desktop demos carrying a circular presenter inset. Camera crops follow the active sidebar, modal, or setting; the UI stays recognizable.

Useful to borrow

Use whole-window → active-control → result framing. Retain permission and environment settings when they explain a workflow.

Do not infer

The inset presenter is already baked into this reference. Do not imitate that composite: our deliverables keep presentation and talking head separate.

10 shot groups.

Read across from the observed content to its treatment and possible adaptation. Enlarge the frame for detail.
