Customize the text prompts in your videoask

You can customize many of the default text prompts in your videoask to keep them relevant to your use case and on brand with your company's voice.

For example, if you're a skincare company you might want to swap out "Book a meeting" to say "Schedule a free skin consultation" instead. If you're using VideoAsk to collect testimonials you could change the CTA (call to action) from "Submit your answer" to "I'm ready to send my review". 

Check out the tutorial video below to learn how to change the interface text prompts on your videoask, or keep reading for a step-by-step guide:

Note: Customizing text prompts or button text follows the same flow as creating a new custom language for your videoask. But don't worry, you don't have to edit all the text prompts or change the language - you can just pick and choose the parts you'd like to customize to match your business needs.

The base language will give you a starting point to customize the interface text prompts, so, for example, if your videoask is set to French, choose French as the base language.

Note: By default, all videoasks will be set to English, unless you have created your own default videoask settings.

5

Click Create.

Now, you can edit the prompts or button text that people see in your videoask. To change a prompt, simply enter your preferred text into the text field for that particular prompt. 

Each field has a character limit, so make sure to keep things short and sweet. You’ll see the number used and the maximum number of characters permitted on the right side of each text field.

You can use the built-in browser search (i.e., command + F on Macs) to quickly find the right prompt and save scrolling. 

💡 Pro tip: If you'd like to add a hyperlink to your text prompts, you can use the following HTML code, just replace the placeholder URL and link text with your own:

<a href='http://YOUR_URL/' target='_blank'>LINK_TEXT</a>

Example: <a href='http://www.videoask.com/' target='_blank'>read more here</a>

When you’re done editing, hit Save custom language.
