<h2>Download raw video files</h2>
If you're after the best resolution and would like to download the raw (uncompressed) videos from your videoask, you can do so if you know what format the original video file was created in.
Note: If you do not know or are unable to guess the proper format for the video file, this process will not work.
1. Copy and paste the answer url into your browser
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360069466592/2020-09-21_15-39-10.png" alt="2020-09-21_15-39-10.png">
2. Once the video has loaded, right click and select Copy Video Address
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360069686551/Copy_video_address.png" alt="Copy_video_address.png">
3. Paste the video address into your browser and edit the video url, replacing "transcoded" with "raw"

If the recording was made on an iPhone, then keep "mp4" in the url.

If you're using your video responses for testimonials, marketing, or even a documentary film (it's been known to happen!), then the quality of your responses is crucial. 
While it can be tricky to manage what you get from your respondents, there are a few settings and tips you can use to get the best quality video footage from your respondents.
Note: Coaching your respondents through some of these steps may be required. 
<h2>1. Switch to Uploaded Recording</h2>
By default, all new videoasks are set <a href="https://www.videoask.com/help/video-audio/whats-the-difference-between-an-uploaded-recording-and-a-live-recording" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Streamed Recording</a>. This uses webRTC technology to live-stream videos to our servers while they are being recorded.
Similar to the technology used for a Zoom call, the bitrate and resolution are automatically adjusted according to the quality of connection during the recording. This means that the quality of the recording will fluctuate if the connection fluctuates.
Streamed Recording gives a better experience for respondents because they don't have to wait for their video to upload once they have finished recording. It is also designed to be much more versatile for different devices, operating systems, and browsers, so more of your respondents will be able to submit video responses with ease.
Uploaded Recording caches a video on your device until you have finished recording and then saves it upon completion. Uploaded videos will maintain the quality of the video recording when it is saved, regardless of the quality of connection. This holds true unless a respondent has an extremely weak or unstable connection, in which case the browser may time out before the upload is completed.
<a href="https://www.videoask.com/help/video-audio/whats-the-difference-between-an-uploaded-recording-and-a-live-recording" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Switching your videoask setting to Uploaded Recording</a> will guarantee the highest quality (as permitted by the quality of the device's camera) when videos are recorded within VideoAsk. Note that some respondents may have difficulty recording within VideoAsk depending on their device and browser with this setting.
<h2>2. Record videos outside of VideoAsk and upload </h2>
All respondents have three options when submitting a video response: record a video within VideoAsk, upload a pre-recorded video, or share their screen. 
Depending on their setup, respondents may be able to submit much higher quality video responses by pre-recording with a DSLR, webcam, or other high quality camera and uploading the video file to VideoAsk. Note: Respondents have a 200 MB file size restriction.
Tip: Our recommended video dimensions are HD landscape 1920 x 1080 px.
To make the submission process as quick as possible, the default option is to record a video within VideoAsk. If you would like respondents to use a pre-recorded video, guiding them to the option to upload a video may help them with the process.
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360078868671/2020-12-07_10-59-58.png" alt="2020-12-07_10-59-58.png" width="605" height="279">
<h2>3. Connection</h2>
If your videoask is set to Stream Recording and respondents use VideoAsk to record their videos, a strong connection is crucial in our ability to record enough information to give you a high quality video response.
If you are using Uploaded Recording, respondents can have a weaker connection and still submit high quality responses but the upload time will take longer and may run the risk of timing out. 
When using Uploaded Recording, responses to <a href="https://www.videoask.com/help/how-it-works/create-a-multi-step-videoask" target="_blank" rel="noopener">multi-step videoasks</a> will queue videos as each step is completed. This means that respondents with a poor connection submitting multiple videos may need to wait at the end of the videoask for all videos to upload before closing their tab or window.  
If you are requesting video testimonials or other video responses where quality is essential, remind your respondents to double check they have a strong and stable connection before recording.
<h2>4. Camera</h2>
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360078734411/webcam_vs_computer.png" alt="webcam_vs_computer.png">This perhaps goes without saying, but we can only record the highest quality as allowed by the camera that is used. 
Built in laptop cameras are generally far inferior to other options, as are the front cameras of a phone as opposed to the back camera. Encouraging and guiding respondents to use the highest quality camera at their disposal will drastically improve the overall quality of the video responses you receive. 
If respondents use an older or lower quality camera to record, then lighting and connectivity (when using Streamed Recording) becomes all the more essential.
<h2>5. Lighting</h2>
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360078734851/2020-12-04_15-24-14.png" alt="2020-12-04_15-24-14.png">Lighting makes a huge difference in the quality of recordings! If there is inadequate lighting even the best cameras will struggle to pick up sufficient information for a clear and pleasing image.
Poor lighting can lead to graininess, distortion, and inaccurate colors (not to mention unflattering shots 😬).
To get the best lighting, we recommend:
<ul>
<li>Natural light!!!!</li>
<li>Avoid any backlighting; neutral and simple backgrounds are the easiest to balance and are less distracting</li>
<li>Supplement natural light with warm lit lamps as needed</li>
<li>Don't use overhead lights (these will give you the "zombie" look - especially fluorescent lights)</li>
</ul>
<h2>6. Download raw video files</h2>
We transcode all videos when they are saved. This means that the videos you view within your VideoAsk inbox and the default video downloads are compressed .mp4 files.
You may, however, <a href="https://www.videoask.com/help/video-audio/download-your-videos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">download the raw files</a> of your video responses to get the original video file if you know the type of device the video was recorded on.

How to manage the quality of your video responses 

If you're anything like us, as soon as you hit Record it's hard to remember what you want to say! 😅 To keep things on track, jot down notes or create a script to use while you record, just like a teleprompter.
Every time you record a new video, whether it's to create a new step or reply to a respondent, you have the option to add notes.
If people on your <a href="https://www.videoask.com/help/account-management/teams-and-organizations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">team</a> will be recording videos of their own following a template, you can also set a script for each video to help them with the process.
<h2>Replying to respondents or creating a new step</h2>
<div class="step">1.From an interaction with a respondent, click the Reply button or <a href="https://www.videoask.com/help/how-it-works/create-a-multi-step-videoask" target="_blank" rel="noopener">create a new step</a></div>

VideoAsk branding is displayed on your videos by default, but if you’re on a <a href="https://www.videoask.com/pricing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brand</a> plan or above, you can turn it off with a few clicks. 
Here’s how:
1. Select a videoask and go to its Settings.

How to remove VideoAsk branding

Do you want your respondents to get the <a href="https://www.videoask.com/help/tips-inspiration/how-to-manage-the-quality-of-your-video-responses" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best quality recording</a> for your use case? Find out when it's best to use Streamed Recording (previously called "Live Recording"), and when to switch to Uploaded Recording. 
NOTE: Streamed Recording is the default setting for all videoasks created after August 19, 2020. 
<h2>To change from Streamed Recording to Uploaded Recording:</h2>
<div class="step">1.Open the Settings of your videoask </div>
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360080373952/2020-12-23_09-48-30.png" alt="2020-12-23_09-48-30.png" width="504" height="152">
<div class="step">2.In the Recording tab, select Upload</div>
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360080390212/Screen_Shot_2020-12-23_at_1.21.46_PM.png" alt="Screen_Shot_2020-12-23_at_1.21.46_PM.png" width="531" height="506">
<h2>What is a Streamed Recording?</h2>
VideoAsk streams the video or voice recording and records it in real-time to the server. If the respondent does not accept the video, VideoAsk doesn't save the recording.
Streamed recordings rely on <a href="https://webrtc.org/">webRTC</a> to achieve in-browser video and audio capture.
<aside>
Note: Streamed recording is not yet implemented for threaded replies, only for initial responses.
</aside>
Why choose Streamed Recording?
<ul>
<li>Better respondent experience – no waiting time to upload.</li>
<li>Better reliability on slower connections/networks as the resolution and bitrate will downscale to avoid failed recordings.</li>
<li>Safari in-browser video recording is now fully supported.</li>
<li>HD recordings are also now achievable on iOS devices when the connection is good enough.</li>
</ul>
<h2>What is an Uploaded Recording?</h2>
VideoAsk captures the video or voice recording of the respondent and uploads it when the respondent accepts the recording.
This method caches the recording on the respondents' device until it has been accepted via the browser's built-in <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaRecorder">Media Recorder</a>.
However, not all browsers have support for Media Recorder...
<ul>
<li>In-browser video capture is not supported on Safari Desktop yet (users can simply upload a video file from their computer).</li>
<li>In-browser video capture is not supported on Safari iOS yet (we use the iOS native camera app to capture video).</li>
<li>The native camera app on iOS does NOT allow HD size recordings to be uploaded to the browser. This results in low resolution (480x640) recordings submitted on iOS devices.</li>
<li>On supported browsers, recording happens locally using device resources such as disk space until the upload is completed.</li>
<li>Once a recording is complete, the user has to wait until the recording is uploaded.</li>
</ul>
NOTE: All creator videos are uploaded when they are created. Streamed Recording is only an option for respondents. 
<h2>How to choose between Uploaded and Streamed Recording</h2>
What's the key difference between Uploaded and Streamed Recording?
<ul>
<li>Network speed is less relevant for Uploaded Recording, as it's just uploading a file from your device, not saving it as its being recorded.
</li>
<li>Streamed Recording always adjusts resolution and bitrate based on the user's device performance and the speed of their network connection.</li>
</ul>
Choose Uploaded Recording if:
<ul>
<li>You want to guarantee the highest quality recording from a given device</li>
<li>Your respondents can wait for their recording to upload</li>
<li>Your users can drop out due to slow upload</li>
<li>The internet connection can suddenly drop out</li>
<li>It's not a problem if your respondents on iOS are not able to record in HD</li>
</ul>
Example use cases: <a href="https://www.videoask.com/testimonials-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Video Testimonials</a>, Compilation Videos 
Choose Streamed Recording if: 
<ul>
<li>You want to optimize for reliability and user experience on slower networks</li>
<li>You want better browser support</li>
<li>You want HD recordings on iOS</li>
<li>You don't mind getting lower quality videos if the user has a worse connection</li>
</ul>
Example use cases: Feedback, Customer Support, <a href="https://www.videoask.com/lead-generation-ebook" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lead Generation</a>
Note: Regardless of which option is used respondents will always have the opportunity to view and submit or reject a video after it is recorded.
=====================
One more thing... Respondents can always upload a pre-recorded video instead of recording within VideoAsk. 
In this case, the only limitation that we impose is a max file size of 200MB. Respondents can use this option if they want to send video files directly and by-pass any device/browser limitation. 
You'll find the upload button in the toolbar which appears at the top of the screen when a respondent chooses to respond via video.

What's the difference between an Uploaded Recording and a Streamed Recording? 

The default length for all video and audio responses is 2 minutes. However, if you’re on a <a href="https://www.videoask.com/pricing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grow</a> plan or above you can change the time limit for the video and audio responses you receive.
Note: Time limit settings do not apply to video or audio messages recorded outside of VideoAsk. If using this option to submit a response, a respondent may upload a file no larger than 200MB, but of any length.

Your videoask will automatically grab a thumbnail within the first 3 seconds of your video to use as a meta image when sharing your videoask on social media, email, or text message.
If you're anything like us, however, those default thumbnails can sometimes be a little unflattering. 😅

What is VideoAsk?
VideoAsk is a simple and effective way to get closer to your audience. Record a video straight from your phone or computer, share the link, then wait for the answers to roll in. No forms, no chatbots—just you.
How does VideoAsk work?
Record yourself asking a question/s, and then send that as a videoask to your audience. People can open the videoask, and answer you using video, audio or text (as well as multiple choice or calendar selection), from their phone or computer. All the answers are saved in your VideoAsk account for you to view and reply to at your leisure, via video. <a href="/help/360035946652" target="_self">Here's</a> a full guide to making a videoask.
How can I sign up for VideoAsk?
You can sign up using the link at the top of this page, or just click <a href="https://www.videoask.com/app/signup" target="_self">here</a>. All you need is an email address to get started with a free account.
What kind of devices can I use?
You can create videoasks using our <a href="https://www.videoask.com/app" target="_self">web-app</a> on your Windows, Mac computer or Android device or use our <a href="https://apps.apple.com/es/app/videoask/id1438100370?l=en" target="_self">native iPhone app</a>.
What browsers are supported?
Your audience can answer videoasks directly on all major browsers with some caveats on Safari and Chrome on iOS (which does not support audio recording) 
Safari desktop does not currently support MediaRecorder API which we use for video capture. Safari iOS and some Android custom browsers will default to the native camera app for video uploads.
However, you can switch on <a href="/help/360044119891" target="_self">'Streamed Recording'</a> which enables Safari to record video directly inside the browser. How long can a VideoAsk be?
Each videoask step can be up to 2 minutes long (unless you upload your own video).
Respondents that answer your videoask have by default 2 minutes of recording time per step. If you are on the Grow plan, you can increase the answer length up to 5 minutes.
Can I send multiple questions to people?
Yes! You can create a multi-step videoask, with sequential question. If you are on the GROW plan, you can add conditional logic to route respondents to different steps based on their multiple choice answer.
How can I share my videoask?
There are a few ways to share your videoask. Every one you create has its own URL, and anyone who clicks on that link can answer your videoask for as long as it's live. You can also embed a videoask on your website as an iframe or as a <a href="https://www.videoask.com/embed-widget" target="_self">widget</a>. Learn more about sharing your videoask <a href="https://www.videoask.com/help/embed/sharing-embedding-your-videoasks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>!
Can I remove VideoAsk branding?
Yes, on our BRAND paid plan. See all of our plans <a href="https://www.videoask.com/pricing" target="_self">here</a>.

Frequently asked questions

To make your videoasks more accessible or engaging, creators and respondents can turn on closed captions or subtitles in each video.
Respondents viewing your videoask have the option to turn on captions in the video control panel in the heading of your videoask:

Collect NPS feedback using VideoAsk

Follow these simple steps to add a widget or embed videoasks on your WordPress site. This will allow visitors to interact with and respond to your videoasks without leaving the page or site.
To add a videoask to your WordPress site, you have two options:
<div class="step">1.Embed videoasks directly within a page using an &lt;iframe&gt; code (similar to what is used to embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo).</div>
<div class="step">2.Embed a widget that will float at the bottom of your page or site and expand to display your videoask when activated (like <a href="https://www.videoask.com/embed-widget" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our friendly example here</a>!).</div>
<h2>Embed a videoask on a page</h2>
<div class="step">1.In the VideoAsk app, copy the <a href="https://www.videoask.com/help/embed/sharing-embedding-your-videoasks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">iframe embed code</a> of your videoask</div>
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360080186372/2020-12-21_17-20-26.png" alt="2020-12-21_17-20-26.png" width="418" height="530">
<div class="step">2.On your WordPress page editor, click the + icon to add a new block</div>
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360080186252/2020-12-21_17-15-08.png" alt="2020-12-21_17-15-08.png" width="576" height="274">
<div class="step">3.Select the html block</div>
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360080318691/2020-12-21_17-14-44.png" alt="2020-12-21_17-14-44.png" width="578" height="275">
Note: These instructions refer to the native WordPress builder. If you are using a different builder, the process for adding a new content block will differ. Look for the option to add "HTML" or "custom code".
<div class="step">4.Paste the iframe embed code into the html section</div>
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360080318831/2020-12-21_17-20-47.png" alt="2020-12-21_17-20-47.png" width="614" height="292">
Pro tip! If you'd like your videoask to display with the answer buttons stacked on top of the video (ie mobile view) as opposed to split screen (your video on the left and answer buttons on the right), then edit the embed code so width equals less than 1024 pixels.

Embed a videoask on your WordPress site

Talking on camera can be tricky, but with a few simple tips anyone can master the art of making great videos. Watch this quick video to learn how to make an interactive and engaging videoask. 
<iframe src="//fast.wistia.com/embed/iframe/wyzbg06asx" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
Not everyone's a pro at being on camera. With VideoAsk, you don't have to be. Follow these 5 tips to create a videoask that's engaging, interactive, and, well... totally you.
<h1>1. Pick the right space</h1>
<ul>
<li>Avoid dark, dingy corners and harsh backlighting in favor of a bright space with plenty of natural light.</li>
<li>You'll also want a quiet space without too much going on in the background to avoid unwanted distractions.</li>
</ul>
<h1>2. Find your best angle</h1>
<ul>
<li>Find your best angle, and center yourself in the shot.</li>
<li>Computer or laptop cameras will do the trick, but phone cameras are even better. Back cameras are usually higher quality than front cameras, so set up your phone or ask a friend to help you record to get the best shot.</li>
<li>Don't forget, you can also <a href="/help/360039602571" target="_self">upload a video</a> to your videoask instead of recording it on the spot.</li>
</ul>
<h1>3. Get to the point</h1>
<ul>
<li>You want viewers to get to the good stuff as soon as they hit play.</li>
<li>Start talking immediately after the countdown to avoid that dreaded dead second before your videoask starts playing.</li>
<li>If you're worried about forgetting what to say, you can include speaker notes to prompt you. If you have more than one question to ask, break it up into steps to keep the flow of your videoask.</li>
</ul>
<h1>4. Be yourself</h1>
<ul>
<li>VideoAsk is all about keeping it real. You can find a balance between being casual and professional to really compel your audience to answer your VideoAsk.</li>
<li>Sit up straight, smile, and speak clearly to keep people engaged.</li>
<li>It's okay to have speaker notes, but don't stick too strictly to a script. This is your chance to show your audience who you really are– use it!</li>
</ul>
<h1>5. Spice it up! </h1>
<ul>
<li>You don't have to be all work and no play. Get creative with your videoask to add your own personal touch.</li>
<li>Use props, or include a special guest to really grab people's attention. If you're really camera shy, you don't even have to show your face. Remember, the sky's the limit with VideoAsk.</li>
</ul>
 
Follow these tips, and you're on your way to becoming a VideoAsk aficionado. Because the best interface is your face.

<h3>Logo tips:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Use images in png, jpeg, svg or gif format, minimum 200 px height.</li>
<li>Add an image with a transparent background to maximize space.</li>
<li>Keep contrast in mind: white or light colored logos will stand out on dark videos, but dark images will stand out best when used in email. If you'll be using your logo in both settings, try images with light and dark elements or somewhere in the middle of the gradient.</li>
<li>Rectangular images will appear larger, circles smaller.</li>
<li class="extended-bullet indent-1" data-extended-bullet="1" data-indent="1">Optimal dimensions: 16:9 format 400 x 160 px</li>
