Before a fan pays for your content or subscribes to your Studio, they need a reason to. Teasers and Trailers are how you give them that reason. Each serves a different purpose and appears in a different place on the platform.Documentation Index

Teasers
A Teaser is a short, free preview attached to an individual Drop or Video.- Length: 15 seconds
- Where it appears: Autoplays in the Circo feed as viewers scroll
- Who sees it: Anyone on Circo — including people who have never visited your Studio
- Access: Always free to watch, never behind a paywall
What makes a strong Teaser
- Start with impact: Open on the most exciting, emotional, or surprising moment from the video.
- Match the tone: If your content is funny, the teaser should be funny. If it’s educational, give a compelling hook. Mismatch damages trust.
- End on a hook: Leave viewers wanting to see what happens next.
- Attach one to every paid Drop: Without a teaser, new viewers have no way to preview what they’re paying for.
Trailers
A Trailer is a video that sits at the top of your Studio profile, like a dynamic banner.- Length: Up to 1 minute
- Where it appears: At the top of your Studio profile page
- Who sees it: Anyone who visits your Studio — subscribers, potential subscribers, and casual visitors
- Purpose: Introduces your Studio’s brand, style, and personality
What to include in your Trailer
- A personal greeting that reflects your personality
- Examples of the type of content you create (clips, highlights, behind-the-scenes)
- A clear call to action — tell viewers to subscribe or unlock your content
