What if witch hunts happened because people came from the future to stop witchcraft's development?

The problem stopping them from developing society would actually be me, a fellow transmigrator.

What technology? Are you guys some amazing scientists? A normal person got zero knowledge about how any tech works. Even if they might think otherwise. Would you be able to build a TV in the XIV century? You'd need to know how every single part was made, how to acquire electricity and many other things.
An average person is focused on their one singular field of study and that's it. That's how we function as a society. It's not one person who makes literally everything. Even if his surname is Tesla. It's the millions and billions of people, each thoroughly invested in their own thing, who make things happen.
If it's purely theoretical, you might be able to introduce something. Like if you are a thoroughly trained physicist, you might be able to introduce some theoretical knowledge that largely won't be implemented any time soon. If you are an enormous genius like Sidis or Da Vinci, you might be able to indeed build something, but it won't be anywhere near its modern counterparts anyway.
Anyway, 99.9% of people wouldn't be able to bring up any tech. Worthwhile or not so.

If you were to do anything with your future knowledge, the best bet in my not so great opinion. Would be to use it to avoid the worst problems of certain eras. Go to Trondheim before the black death starts rolling, cold as F*** but you should have a better chance to live. The Great Depression coming and your in the US? If you have a farm sell the land now, buy property during it. WW 1 avoid Europe, same with WW 2. Invest in American and European corporations until 1970; then invest in the following nations countries starting in the 70's and until the early 1990's as they become available to foreigners: Japan: Taiwan: Korea: India: China. You do not need a lot of knowledge and its not perfect, but you will progress.
Most of the world prior to 1500's is a bit hit and miss, but you can at least think of some trends of where not to be and where to be.

That's some mighty fine hope that you won't be screwed over by a lack of copyright protection. Let alone influence to make sure that someone else with actual connections doesn't just curve stomp you out of said copyright. "Oh, this literal dumbass with no education whatsoever figured out how to do [insert thingymabob here]?! How about no. I did it! As if anyone else will believe the weird one with no credentials."
Your MC's don't have to go balls deep into the innovation. They can become extremely influential and indispensable just by knowing of other languages with a syntax and alphabet that has no origins in the new world they find themselves in. The only way it backfires is by being the protagonist a.k.a. a socially inept blank slate that can't form connections so they get used instead. Also, being a protagonist, a.k.a. incredibly dense so they purposefully create a rosetta stone that explains everything.
And yes I am using communication and encryption in part of a war arc. Nothing fancy, like radio's that barely work past a few miles. Just think how useful in ww2 that a butchered version of the Navajo language was used for directing orders. You don't have to go deep into science. Half-assing is more than enough to get you a solid foothold in some vague 11th-18th century European country copy.
Bonus: Just knowing concepts can help. Let's admit it. The world is going to have magic. Why wouldn't it? Just knowing that magic is energy is enough to know that an alternator like device is pretty good idea after remembering that cars exist. That cpu's won't be needed to make a rail gun because everything is thought activated anyway. Use a Tier nth flame spell to blast a light array into geo-orbit. Orbital laser weapon completed. Don't know the math? Who cares?! Magic will regenerated so just try it again in a few hours/days until it sticks. Barely any operational costs once you know the proper squiggles.

Realistically, unless your MC already have a specialization, anything past the 16th century will just laugh at em. Even guns. Yes rifling can help. Do you have any idea off the top of your head to do it without equipment?
