Your VideoAsk plan includes a monthly audio and video processing limit. You can check how much data you’ve used on a counter under the Plan &amp; Billing section of your account.
Minutes are generated when you or your respondents generate video (or audio) content on VideoAsk. The counter will reset every month on your subscription date, and unused minutes can’t be carried over to the next month.
To check your counter:
1. Go to Plan &amp; Billing. 
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360056631551/Counter_Plan_and_Billing.png" alt="Counter_Plan_and_Billing.png">
Now you’ll see the counter showing how many minutes of audio and video processing you have used toward your monthly limit:

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. 😅
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360070526312/Group_180.png" alt="Group_180.png" width="614" height="178">
<h2>To select your videoask thumbnail:</h2>

Do you want your responders to get the best quality recording for your use case? Find out when it's best to use Live Recording, and when to opt in to using Uploaded Recording. 
NOTE: Live Recording is the default setting for all videoasks created after August 19, 2020. To change from Live Recording to Uploaded Recording, go into Settings for your videoask and scroll down to Recording:
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360065255751/image__1_.png" alt="image__1_.png" width="372" height="159">
<h1>What is an Uploaded Recording?</h1>
VideoAsk captures the video or voice recording of the respondent on their device, and uploads it when the respondent confirms that they're ready.
We record 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. Live Recording is only an option for respondents. 
<h1>What is a Live Recording?</h1>
VideoAsk streams the video or voice recording and records it in real-time on the server. If the respondent does not confirm, VideoAsk doesn't store the recording.
Live recordings rely on <a href="https://webrtc.org/">webRTC</a> to achieve in-browser video and audio capture.
<aside>
Note: Live recording is not yet implemented for threaded replies, only for initial answers.
</aside>
Why choose Live 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>
What's the key difference between Uploaded and Live Recording?
<ul>
<li>Network speed is not relevant for Uploaded Recording, as it's just uploading a file from your device.
</li>
<li>Live 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: Testimonials, Compilation videos 
Choose Live 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, Lead generation
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 just upload a pre-recorded video instead. 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 answer via video.
 <img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360058333091/Screenshot_2020-05-28_at_06.38.13.png" alt="Screenshot_2020-05-28_at_06.38.13.png" width="242" height="110">

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

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:
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360065888291/Group_134.png" alt="Group_134.png" width="342" height="107">
 
You also have the option to show captions to respondents by default (these will display in muted autoplay, before they press the play button to listen to your videoask). Leaving this option OFF will still allow respondents to opt-in to switch captions ON for accessibility. 
<h2>To show captions by default:</h2>
1.  Go to Settings for your videoask
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360065704292/Group_135.png" alt="Group_135.png" width="336" height="153">
2. Scroll down to Show captions by default and toggle ON
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360065708712/Screen_Shot_2020-08-24_at_3.50_1.png" alt="Screen_Shot_2020-08-24_at_3.50_1.png" width="382" height="71">
*Note: to give respondents the option to turn on captions, make sure Show video controls is turned ON in advanced settings 
 <img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360066265551/2020-08-25_14-12-37.png" alt="2020-08-25_14-12-37.png" width="394" height="157">
If your videoask (or videoask step) was created before August 24, 2020, you will need to update the transcript in order for the captions to appear. 
<h2>To update a transcript: 
</h2>
1. Go to edit this videoask
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360065704312/Group_137.png" alt="Group_137.png" width="353" height="156">
2. Select edit this step for the step that you’d like to display captions
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360065888351/Group_138.png" alt="Group_138.png" width="603" height="204">
3. If the transcript view allows you to play, edit words, and copy text then captions will work for this step:
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360065889391/Screen_Shot_2020-08-24_at_3.21_1.png" alt="Screen_Shot_2020-08-24_at_3.21_1.png" width="527" height="254">
4. If you see a message saying “This transcription is an older format, please update for captions to be available” you’ll need to click update in order for the captions to work for this step.
<img src="https://videoask.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/360066024551/Screen_Shot_2020-08-24_at_6.49_1.png" alt="Screen_Shot_2020-08-24_at_6.49_1.png" width="605" height="305"> 
Once you update an older transcription, you will be able to turn on captions as well as <a href="/help/360048245912" target="_self">edit your captions</a> by selecting edit words and make any necessary changes.
<h2>Change caption language:</h2>
1. Go to your videoask Settings

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">'Live 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>.
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>.
How can I add GDPR consent to my videoasks?
Option a) Edit the contact form heading and button to include a consent message and a consent call to action button, by <a href="/help/Customize-the-text-of-your-VideoAsk-interface" target="_self">editing your interface texts</a>.
Option b) Create a videoask step asking for consent and outline the general terms. Give the respondent the choice to continue or not using a multiple-choice answer. <a href="/help/Use-Conditional-Logic" target="_self">Use logic</a> to allow them to continue or <a href="/help/Redirect-to-URL" target="_self">send them packing</a> ;)

<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>
</ul>

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.
