▶️ Auto-Progress the Whole Demo

Turn on auto-progress for every step from the editor’s Playback dropdown. The new Reading Speed slider (100 to 300 WPM) controls how each step’s delay scales to its annotation text. Learn more.

🔁 Loop Playback

Demos can now loop back to step 1 when they reach the call-to-action instead of stopping. Useful for ambient embeds on a landing page, or trade-show kiosks and event booths. Learn more.

⏱️ Per-Step Overrides

Override the auto-progress delay on any single step with a custom number of seconds. An override beats the global delay, and it can auto-progress one step even when the global toggle is off. Learn more.

⏯️ Play and Pause for Viewers

Viewers can now pause and resume auto-progression. The button sits in the player toolbar on desktop and between the prev/next arrows on mobile. Learn more.

🎮 Player Control API

Drive any embedded HowdyGo demo from your own page with window.howdygo.control(demoId). Jump between steps and chapters, pause and resume auto-progress, and read the current player state from your own UI. Learn more.
