Live survey

This is the real form your customers would see. Nothing you record here is saved.

For the people answering

Nobody has to be on camera.

The first question teams ask is whether customers will really record a video. They don't have to: you choose which answer types each question takes, so it fits around how each person wants to answer.

  • Voice instead of cameraA recorded question can take a voice note too, so people who would rather not be on camera still answer out loud.
  • Or simply typeOffer text next to video and voice. You hear from everyone, and the people who do record give you the why.
  • Or show the screenFor a bug or a confusing step, respondents can record their screen instead of their face.
  • Re-record before sendingNothing is sent until they are happy with it, so a first take never has to be the last.
  • Any browser, no appThe survey opens from a link, an email or a QR code. No download and no account for the person answering.
  • A person asks, with captionsQuestions come from a real host on video, captioned, so it feels like a short conversation and works with the sound off.
Definition

What is a video survey?

A video survey is a survey in which people answer open questions by recording a short video, a voice note or text in their browser, with no app to install, often to questions a real person asks on camera. Each spoken answer is transcribed and summarized, so you read the reason behind a score in the respondent’s own words.

It works like a form and reads like a short interview. Answers are transcribed in 110+ languages, and each one gets a summary, three to five keywords and a label for the tone of the text.

One order, two surveys

James rated his skincare order 3 out of 5. Then the survey asked him what went wrong. This is what each kind of survey brings back.

James

What went wrong?

What he says

“Damaged.”

Typed on a phone, in a hurry.

What you see and hear

Nothing beyond the word. You cannot tell whether he is angry, mildly annoyed or just reporting it.

What your team gets

A 3 in the rating column and one word to act on. Someone has to email him to find out more.

AI transcripts and summaries

You don’t have to watch every answer.

RecRam transcribes every video and voice answer in 110+ languages, then gives each video and voice answer a one-line summary, 3 to 5 keywords and the tone of the text. Scan the list, filter by tone and open only the answers you want to watch.

The AI reads the words. Your team decides.

RecRam’s AI transcribes, summarizes, translates and captions answers, and shows the tone of what was said. It never scores, ranks or makes decisions about the people who answer, and it doesn’t analyze faces or voices. Your team tags, comments and follows up.

Team review

Review every answer together, down to the second.

AI writes out and summarizes the answer. Your team does the reviewing on the answer itself: comment on the exact moment, tag it, score it, clip it and reply. No spreadsheet, no side thread.

Olivia Brown · 0:08The vitamin C serum is amazing. Two weeks in, and my skin looks so much brighter.

Would you record a short review?

Comment on the second

Pause, type, @mention a teammate. The note is pinned to that moment, and a click jumps back to it.

Use cases

Where video surveys work best

A video survey earns its place when you need the reason behind an answer, not only the answer: why a customer cancelled, what went wrong with an order, where a user got stuck.

All use cases
  • Churn and cancellation surveys

    People who cancel explain why in their own words, and you often hear the one fix that would have kept them.

  • Post-purchase and CSAT follow-up

    A low rating branches straight to a recorded answer, so a three-star rating arrives with the reason behind it.

  • Usability and UX research

    Users talk through where they got stuck, or share their screen, instead of writing “it doesn’t work”.

  • User interviews without scheduling

    Send the questions a moderator would ask; people answer on camera when it suits them, and each video and voice answer comes back transcribed and summarized.

  • Employee and onboarding feedback

    New hires answer by voice or video in their own time, with the tone and detail a one-to-five scale flattens.

  • Course and training feedback

    Learners record a short reflection after a module, so instructors hear what landed and where they lost the room.

How a video survey works

One video survey, from question to follow-up

A video survey asks questions on video and lets people answer by video, voice or text. In RecRam, AI transcribes and summarizes each video and voice answer, your team discusses it and replies, and the results flow to Slack, HubSpot or Sheets. Here is a real churn survey, start to finish.

  1. Describe the form and AI drafts it, or lay it out yourself. Any answer can lead somewhere different.

    How branching works
  2. This is the real form, live. Mark asks on video with captions, and people answer by tapping, or by video, voice or text, in the browser. Try it; nothing is saved.

    Try a demo form
  3. Each recording is transcribed in 110+ languages and summarized, with keywords and the tone of the text.

    See AI insights
  4. The team discusses the answer, then writes back to Hannah by video, voice or text.

    How conversations work
  5. New responses post to Slack, an email follows once the analysis is ready, and mentions reach each teammate.

  6. HubSpot, Google Sheets, Slack and Zendesk natively; Zapier, Make, n8n, webhooks and the API for the rest.

How to create a video survey

Eight steps from a blank form to answers your team can act on.

Start free

Free for 28 days. No credit card.

  1. Step 1: Define your goal

    Decide what you need to learn and from whom: why customers cancel, how an order went, what new hires found confusing. One clear goal keeps the survey short.

  2. Step 2: Write open, conversational questions

    Ask the way you would in person. “Tell us what happened” gets far more than “Rate us from 1 to 5”, and three to five questions is usually enough.

  3. Step 3: Choose how people can answer

    Let respondents reply by video, voice or text, or by recording their screen. Offering voice and text next to video lets everyone answer in the way they are comfortable with.

  4. Step 4: Record your question videos

    Record a short host video for each question, ideally under 30 seconds. Host videos play with captions, so they work with the sound off.

  5. Step 5: Add branching logic

    Send people down different paths based on any answer. An unhappy customer can be asked what went wrong while a happy one is asked for a review.

  6. Step 6: Match your brand

    Add your logo, colors and a thank-you message so the survey feels like part of your own site.

  7. Step 7: Share the survey

    Send a link, email it, print a QR code or embed it on your website. It opens in any browser, so nobody has to install an app.

  8. Step 8: Read the transcripts and review as a team

    Every video and voice answer is transcribed in 110+ languages and gets a summary, keywords and the tone of the text. Your team reads, tags and follows up, and answers can flow on to HubSpot, Slack, Google Sheets and more.

How a video survey tool compares

A video survey tool collects answers people record on camera, by voice or as text, then turns each recording into something you can read. Here is how that differs from the two tools teams usually reach for instead.

  • Best for

    RecRam
    Hearing why, in people’s own words
    Text surveys
    Large samples and quick counts
    Video apps
    Sending one message to one person

The two right-hand columns describe each category in general. Individual tools differ, so check the tool-by-tool pages below before you decide.

Which one should you use?

A video survey is the better choice when you need to understand why people think or feel something, in their own words and tone; a text survey is still the better choice when you need a large sample of quick, countable answers such as ratings or multiple choice.

With RecRam you do not have to pick one: a single form can ask for a rating, then invite a short video or voice answer to explain it.

Video survey FAQ

A video survey is an interactive feedback method where questions are delivered via video, and respondents reply using recorded video, voice, or text. Unlike text-heavy forms, video surveys let people explain in their own words, with the context and detail a text box loses. RecRam adds AI on top to transcribe every video and voice answer and summarize it with keywords and the tone of what was said. Your team watches and reviews the answers; the AI never judges the people who give them.
