Adding questions to a recorder

Your recorder can ask respondents questions alongside their recording. To set them up:

  1. Open the recorder and go to the Questions tab.

  2. Click Add Question.

  3. Enter the question text, choose an answer type, optionally map it to a field, and mark it required if needed.

  4. Save the question.

Available answer types

You can choose from:

  • Single Line:a short text answer

  • Multiple Line:a longer, free-form written answer

  • Checkbox:choose more than one option

  • Radio Button:choose one option

  • Dropdown:choose one option from a list

  • Date and Date & Time

Respondents always record their audio or video answer. These question types capture the structured details you want to collect alongside that recording.

Multi-line and advanced types need a paid plan

Single Line is available on every plan. Multiple Line and the other answer types (Checkbox, Radio Button, Dropdown, Date, Date & Time) are part of recorder customization on our paid plans. If a type is locked, you will see Upgrade to unlock additional answer types under the answer-type menu. Upgrading turns all of them on.
