VideoAsk Product Roundup - 2022 📹 💫product updates

Well Community, that’s a wrap for 2022! 🎉 There have been so many great VideoAsk updates this year we wanted to share a few highlights before we get cracking on more new features and improvements in 2023. 🤩 Reply with Audio Back in July we announced the arrival of Reply with Audio, allowing creators the choice to reply back to respondents via either video or audio message.  📹 Here’s the demo:  Manually Add Contacts Another new release launched in July was the ability to Add Contacts to your Contacts list! Previously, the only way to have a contact appear in the list would be if someone had responded to your videoask, but now you can add in a contact and kick off a conversation via direct video message.  Reply to Many In November we launched Reply to Many, saving everyone some time by allowing creators to reply to multiple contacts at once.📹 Catch up on how it works here:  Filter by Score and Date Earlier in the year we made some updates to our filtering options and in April we laun

VideoAsk Product Digest - December 2022 📹product updates

Hello everyone! This month we’ve got a few final treats for you to enjoy before the holiday season really gets underway!  Let’s take a look at what’s new in VideoAsk 🎁 Respondent email confirmationHave you ever completed a videoask and wondered whether your response has been sent? Or perhaps you’ve been using VideoAsk for recruitment and have had a few nervous applicants worried their application didn’t arrive in your inbox. It's something we’ve heard in the past, so we’ve added an option to send respondents a confirmation email. Simply head to Settings while you’re in the builder of your videoask:  Then scroll down until you see the toggle for Send respondents a confirmation email:  Now, any time someone responds to your videoask they will receive a confirmation email that will look a bit like this:  If you want to personalize the confirmation experience even further, and integrate VideoAsk with your email marketing tool, we have a handy community guide to show you how it’s done:  Ch

VideoAsk Product Digest - November 2022 📹product updates

Hi everyone! Can you believe we’re already in November? 😱  Let’s get cracking with this month's updates as the VideoAsk product team have been rather busy again! Reply to many The big news this month is the launch of the Reply to many feature! 🎉 This means, you can now send the same message to multiple contacts at once, making your reply time more efficient!  📹 Here’s how it’s done:  This feature could be useful for replying to event submissions and course applications, or sending replies to candidates answering your recruitment videoasks. Check out the guide here to learn more:  Adjustable reply length Previously you could only control the time limit for an initial response to your videoask (so the first time someone answers you). If you then continued with an asynchronous conversation respondents could leave lengthier replies due to the default settings (up to 300 seconds). Now you can also set a time limit for any follow up responses, so if you only ever want 30 second replies, y

VideoAsk Product Digest - October 2022 📹product updates

Hey Community! 🎃 I can’t believe it’s already time for the October Product Digest! 😱  It’s been another busy month for the product team, with more updates to the VideoAsk builder and improving existing features. Let's take a look at what’s new in VideoAsk 🤩 Increased recording length Remember last month we increased the video upload size to 500MB? Well to help you get even more out of your conversations we’ve also increased the recording length for video and audio, both in steps and in replies, so now you can choose to record for up to 5 minutes. This will come in handy when you’ve got just a little bit more information to share with respondents – no need to reply back twice, just keep it all in one message!  Ignore human notifications  This one has been on our radar for a while, many of you have asked if there’s a way to switch off those pesky human notifications and only get pinged for responses with contact details.   To switch off (or on) human notifications, head to your Accoun

VideoAsk Product Digest - September 2022 📹product updates

Hello and welcome to the September Product Digest!  If you’ve had a little break for the summer, we hope you’re feeling rested and ready to dive back into creating some cool new videoasks 😎 We’ve been continuing to make little tweaks and updates, so let’s take a look at what’s new this month 👀 Screen sharing gets a makeover This one has been a big contender on the VideoAsk feature request board, so we were extremely excited for the new screen share updates to go live! Previously, when using the screen share function within VideoAsk, that’s all you could do, simply share your screen. Now you can use picture in picture mode to show your face as you explain your screen shares, adding that extra personal touch to the video. If you don’t need or want to record yourself (we all have bad hair days let’s face it) you can switch face recording off and go back to a classic screen recording.   If you’re a keen user of the screen sharing function you’ll also notice some updates to the way it loo

VideoAsk Product Digest - August 2022 📹product updates

Hi Community and friends! 😎 This month the team have been busy updating and refining some key features in VideoAsk 🛠 Let’s dive straight in and take a look at what’s new! 🏊   Builder controls Can we fix it? Yes, with the new drag and drop system in the VideoAsk builder, we can! For those of you that have been using VideoAsk for a while, you’ll be familiar with the build area where you create, record and edit your videoasks:  Now you’ll notice there’s a floating control panel on the left-hand side making it easy to drag and drop new steps into the flow, plus you can skip recording the video, making it quick and easy to plan out your videoasks before customizing and refining them. 👀 If you’re new to VideoAsk and want to familiarise yourself with the builder, check out our Help Center article here on how to get started. Add or edit contact details We’ve been making some changes to the way you can edit contact details in VideoAsk, and it’s now possible to assign or create contacts from

Summer’s here 🌞 and we’re cranking up the temperature with some hot off the press VideoAsk updates!    Reply with audio Up until now, as a creator we’ve only had the option to reply to respondents using video. Now you can just as easily send them a quick audio message, so you can keep the conversation going even if you’re not camera ready!  📹 Let’s take a look at how it works:   Manually add contacts to VideoAsk After the success of importing your Typeform contacts to your VideoAsk account you can now manually add a contact into your Contacts list!  Simply head to your Contacts list and click on the Add button:  From here you can enter the Name, Email and Phone Number (email address is the only required field at this stage)  Once they’re in your contacts list you can kick off a conversation by sending them a direct video message!    Template gallery improvements We’ve been making some changes to our template gallery over the past few months.

Hello and welcome to the May VideoAsk Product Digest! 🌼  The VideoAsk team are busy cooking up some cool new features and updates which aren’t quite ready to come out of the oven yet...

VideoAsk Product Digest - March 2022 📹Product Updates

March is here already   and with it comes some updates to VideoAsk, so let’s dive in and take a look at what’s new  Automatic Tagging If you’ve used the tagging system in VideoAsk before, you’ll know it’s handy for filtering and organizing responses, but it can be a bit of a manual process individually tagging responses: Tagging responses This month the VideoAsk team have released auto tagging. This lets you set up advanced logic within your videoask to automatically tag responses based on answers as they come through!  Once you’ve set up your videoask flow, you can add auto tagging by selecting a step and going to the Logic tab, here you can toggle on Advanced Logic to set up the tags: Advanced Logic toggle From here, click + Add new condition and select which answers you would like to tag: Tag response You can choose from a drop down list of pre-existing tags, or create a new tag here: Drop down list of tags available You can repeat this for as many steps as needed, and add multiple

VideoAsk Product Digest - February 2022 📹Product updates

Hello community! It’s shaping up to be a busy 2022 in the world of VideoAsk and the team are working on lots of product updates plus some new releases. We’ll be keeping you up to date here on the community, so let’s take a look at what’s new so far this year   Mark interactions as unreadAs people respond to your videoask your inbox will start filling up with interactions and it can be a little tricky to keep track of what has been responded to and what still needs looking at - enter the mark as unread feature! Now when a response comes through it will automatically have a purple dot next to it so you can easily see which interactions need looking at, plus if you check the response but don’t have time to reply, or need to leave a response for a fellow team member to see, you can mark the response as unread to go back to later. Watch the video below to see what this looks like:  Search in Contacts listNeed to send a quick DM to a contact?
