## What the sample demonstrates
The 59.6-second example was recorded, edited, narrated with Standard Ada Multilingual, caption-corrected and exported at 1080p in work Clipchamp on October 7, 2026. Teams was already signed in. The notification page was reviewed without changing its settings. No employee-viewer permission test was performed.

## Build it in Clipchamp
1. Open the work-account link below and choose **Create video project**.
2. Choose **Record & create → Screen**, turn the microphone off, choose the Teams tab and turn tab audio off when adding narration later. Review the capture, then choose **Save and edit**.
3. Arrange the clips; trim edges, split mistakes and add a short heading from **Text**.
4. Choose **Record & create → Text to speech**. Select language and voice, paste one paragraph from the narration file, **Preview**, then **Save**. Align each audio clip with its action.
5. Open **Transcript & captions**. Generate and proofread the transcript, especially step numbers and product names. The transcript menu offers **Download as .srt**.
6. Choose **Export → 1080p**. Check **Store in the cloud** and its destination, then play the exported MP4.
7. Share the completed video with the intended audience. Keep project-editing access for maintainers. Test the actual viewing link before sending it.
