- Meta faced criticism for failed live demos, sparking debate on live vs. pre-recorded demos.
- Live demos are prone to failures due to network issues, computer setup problems, and external service outages.
- Steve Jobs' iPhone 4 demo at WWDC2010 was affected by network issues from audience MiFi routers.
- Pre-recording demos avoids the risk of breaking local setups and allows for smoother presentations.
- Using tools like Apple's Screenshot app for recordings, including audio and mouse clicks, enhances clarity.
- Recorded demos can be scrubbed through, skipping slow loading screens for a better audience experience.
