Setting up a Video Rating Question

To set up a Video Rating question:

1. Type the title, text, and instructions into the Text Tab.
2. Add the required number of answer options into the Answers tab

Important
If you include the rating chart for videos longer than 15 minutes, this can cause problems in the survey. You are therefore advised to keep videos as short as possible.


6. Type/copy the URL of the video you want embedded into your question into the Video URL text box.

Valid video formats are:

• Mp4
• YouTube - see Note below.
• Webm
• Ogv

Note: When using YouTube videos, having more than one Video Question on a survey page causes issues. Forsta therefore recommends separating YouTube videos onto separate pages.

7. Set the Poster URL, Video Width, Video Height, and other settings as required (go to Configuring Video Questions for more information).
8. Click Save.
9. Launch the survey to save your changes in production.
