Customize the text prompts in your videoask

You can customize many of the default text prompts in your videoask to keep them relevant to your use case and on brand with your company's voice.

For example, if you're a skincare company you might want to swap out "Book a meeting" to say "Schedule a free skin consultation" instead. If you're using VideoAsk to collect testimonials you could change the CTA (call to action) from "Submit your answer" to "I'm ready to send my review". 

Check out the tutorial video below to learn how to change the interface text prompts on your videoask, or keep reading for a step-by-step guide:

Note: Customizing text prompts or button text follows the same flow as creating a new custom language for your videoask. But don't worry, you don't have to edit all the text prompts or change the language - you can just pick and choose the parts you'd like to customize to match your business needs.

Customize the text prompts in your videoask

The base language will give you a starting point to customize the interface text prompts, so, for example, if your videoask is set to French, choose French as the base language.

Note: By default, all videoasks will be set to English, unless you have created your own default videoask settings.

Each field has a character limit, so make sure to keep things short and sweet. You’ll see the number used and the maximum number of characters permitted on the right side of each text field.

You can use the built-in browser search (i.e., command + F on Macs) to quickly find the right prompt and save scrolling. 

💡 Pro tip: If you'd like to add a hyperlink to your text prompts, you can use the following HTML code, just replace the placeholder URL and link text with your own:

<a href='http://YOUR_URL/' target='_blank'>LINK_TEXT</a>

Example: <a href='http://www.videoask.com/' target='_blank'>read more here</a>

Now that you've edited your chosen prompts, you can use this customized version for any videoask in your account. Just choose it from the dropdown list of languages.

When you do, this customized version will be applied to your videoask. 🎉

Edit your text prompts

You can update the text prompts at any time. Before doing so, note that any changes you make will be applied to all videoasks that are currently using that custom language template.

Note: If you choose to Save changes, this will change the interface text of all videoasks using this language setting.

If you choose to save your custom language as a copy, you’ll also be prompted to confirm a name and base language. After doing so, click Create.

Delete your customized text prompts

Note: Deleting a custom language cannot be undone. Be aware that deleting a custom language that is currently being used by a videoask will revert all interface text to the default text in English. You can only delete custom languages you create, not the default languages available in VideoAsk.
