Hi, I teach online and want to ask my students to send in a short video clip about there journey.  How would I do this via videoAsk.  Will I create a profile and then send to them to do a video via my profile?

Hi @NatalieTWC welcome to the community!

Your students don’t need to have a VideoAsk account themselves, only you need an account.

You could create a videoask and choose the open-ended answer type so that they can respond to your videoask via video. Here they can record their message to you which will land in your inbox. If you just want to receive video messages, you can toggle off text and audio so they only have one option to respond to you.

 

I would also recommend turning on collect contact details so each video will have their name when it arrives in your VideoAsk inbox.

Let us know if you need any more help with this 😊

Thanks for this.  I watched it.  But doesn't answer my query.  I want to get students to shoot a short case study video and send it to me.  Is there an easy way to do this with out them having to create their own account?

 

I.e do I have an account and just send them a link for them to record?
