Include a prompt for every video response you'd like recipients to record. Each prompt will be recorded separately.
When you've added all your prompts, copy your unique link, then share with your recipients. Send your link to as many people as you'd like.
When your recipient clicks on the link they'll see all your relevant project information, video prompts, and a screen to record their responses. Record will automatically connect to any device’s camera and microphone for quick and easy capture — just hit record and start speaking.
The Record screen includes your prompt, the contributor’s video preview, and a space to write speaking notes.

Contributors can also record their screens by pressing the "Record my screen" button, then choosing which screen they'd like to record. Find out more here.
Once your contributors have recorded and approved their responses, we’ll let you know. Submissions are immediately imported into your "My Uploads" folder via the "Add" tab of any video.
