Video recording questions

Create speaking questions where the test-taker will record a video clip as an answer.
April, 2025

Creating video recording questions

  • Go to the Question bank and click + New Question.
    • Select Video Recorder as the question type.
      • Enter your question prompt in the rich text editor (e.g., “Make a 1 min recording of yourself describing your current environment.”).

        Configuring answer settings

        You can restrict how candidates interact with the video recorder using two options:

        • Time of the recording: Set to Active to limit the duration (e.g., 60 seconds). If disabled, the recording has no time limit.
          Set recording duration.
          Set recording duration.
          • How many times user can retry recording: Set to Active to allow limited retries (e.g., 1 to 10 retries). If disabled, the test-taker is allowed unlimited attempts.
            Set retry limit.
            Set retry limit.

            Using the Preview section will let you simulate the test-taker experience, including activating the camera, selecting a video input, and recording a response with the configured settings.

            If recording doesn't start, ensure: 
            The browser has permission to use the camera.
            No other applications or browser tabs are using the camera.
            Why use video recording?

            Particularly useful for interviews, communication skills assessments, and remote speaking evaluations, video recording questions allow you to observe body language and verbal responses together with time and retry limits to ensure fairness and consistency in all responses.
