How long should a product manager video intro be?

45-75 seconds, under 90 seconds at the outside. Past that it stops being a quick signal check for the reviewer and becomes a time cost they'll skip past. If the script doesn't fit, cut it down to the one or two points that matter most, don't extend the time.

What should a PM video intro actually say?

Three beats: a one-line identity more specific than your job title, one concrete project you shipped with a real outcome, and what you're looking for next. Skip a chronological résumé recap — pick one project and go deep rather than summarizing your whole career.

Should I read from a script when recording a video intro?

Write a full script first to cut filler, but record from a bullet-point version, not the full text. Reading word-for-word on camera is easy to spot and reads as rehearsed; speaking from a few bullets sounds natural because it still is you talking, just already trimmed.

What mistakes hurt a product manager video intro the most?

Opening with your name and job title instead of something the reviewer doesn't already know, narrating your entire resume instead of one sharp example, and recording with bad audio or a cluttered background that becomes what the viewer remembers instead of what you said.
