Some products are easier to understand when users can see them, not just read about them.

Useful media reduces interpretation effort.

## What It Is

Media support means screenshots, diagrams, product visuals, or short videos that help explain the page and product.

## Why It Matters

- It shortens the path to understanding.
- It adds proof that the product exists and works.
- It can improve engagement on otherwise abstract pages.

## Best Practices

1. Use visuals that explain real product states.
2. Keep videos short and task-oriented.
3. Add captions or surrounding context so the media is not ambiguous.

## Common Mistakes

- No visuals for a product that is hard to imagine.
- Generic stock imagery instead of product evidence.
- Decorative media that adds noise instead of clarity.

## Quick Checklist

- At least one meaningful visual when helpful.
- Media supports, not distracts from, the message.
- Visuals match the current product.

## Final Takeaway

Good media is explanatory evidence, not filler.
