Overall Demonstration	30MB	Warning, this video is enormous. We use it to demonstrate the Volunteer Reporter and Web Assistant when we travel to conferences and trade shows. Consequently, it is much larger than our normal training videos and it is silent, using captions instead of audio. It's a great look at the Reporter if you have a fast Internet connection and are willing to wait for it to load.
