Advanced Multiple Choice Options in VideoAsk (strict min/max selections + other text input)

Hey @Grace & VideoAsk team,

Any update on when this feature will be added? I will have to use an external form which isn't ideal for user interaction. Both requests by @TMo would be great. But the first is particularly important. 

Thanks. 

Hey @Yewande welcome to the community 😊

At the moment these features aren’t on the road map, but I’ve given them an upvote. 

Can you tell us a bit more about your use case so we can understand the importance of controlling the number of selections?

Hey @Grace. Thanks for your quick response. 

I’m in the process of using VideoAsk as a core part of my Sales funnel. As part of that, when clients are ready to buy, part of our service is a personalised match with their coach. I want to use VideoAsk to take them through that process. Basically simulating a sales call. With at least 3 questions, to better understand their needs, I’m listing ~10 common needs of our clients. I don’t want them to select all 10 (otherwise, what’s the point) and selecting just 1 is often limiting. So I’d like them to select max 3 to get a good flavour of their needs. Without this, I risk either not getting enough information or getting too much - eitherway, it’s not helpful. The other option is to use AirTable’s form, but that doesn’t have the Video aspect which is critical for something like this. I hope that helps.

As a more general point, I noticed that VideoAsk is marketing its tool as one for leadgen and getting client input. If that’s the case then this is a basic features that other form platforms (e.g. AirTable, Google Forms) have that I think is important.

Let me know if any questions 

Hi @Yewande, thanks for sharing that additional context!

While @Grace is correct that you don’t currently have the ability to limit the maximum number of selections, it is worth noting that you can still enable multiple selections.

In other words, you can list out all ten options and tell respondents to choose up to three of them. Respondents can still technically choose more than three options, of course, but you can mitigate this from happening by providing guidance either in your video itself or in the overlay text.

Hey @Yewande great feedback thank you so much for sharing, I’ll pass that on to our product team. 

Let us know if you end up trying Andrew’s suggestion, hopefully it could work and allow you to use VideoAsk for this 🙏
