Measurement ideas

Track completion rate from URL paste to successful download (or honest failure). Segment by device class to see whether living-room playback focus changes outcomes on phones vs desktops.

If you publish changelogs, reference guide #500 when you ship related fixes so internal search stays coherent.

Explaining container formats in support tickets

When a user says “MP4 won’t open,” ask whether they mean the file won’t play or won’t import into an editor. The answer steers you toward codec vs container issues.

Keep a canned reply that links to your codecs explainer article.
