Video Forms

Product Introduction

1. Definition: Video Forms is a SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) interactive video platform that embeds customizable questionnaires directly into video timelines. It operates as a browser-based tool compatible with YouTube-hosted content.
2. Core Value Proposition: It eliminates disjointed feedback workflows by enabling contextual in-video surveys, boosting response accuracy for UX research, product demos, and user onboarding through seamless timestamped Q&A integration.

Main Features

1. YouTube Video Integration:
   Paste any public YouTube URL to synchronize forms with video content. The platform uses YouTube’s Player API for frame-accurate timestamping, enabling real-time question triggers during playback.
2. Timestamped Question Engine:
   Embed multiple-choice or text-input questions at precise moments (e.g., 01:45) using drag-and-drop tools. Questions render as overlays without disrupting playback, ensuring feedback aligns with viewed content.
3. Conditional Skip Logic:
   Automatically redirect viewers to predefined timestamps based on answers (e.g., skipping irrelevant sections). Powered by decision-tree algorithms that process responses in real-time.
4. Centralized Response Dashboard:
   Aggregate all responses in a unified analytics interface. Export raw data (CSV/Excel) or visualize trends via built-in charts, tracking completion rates and answer distribution.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Fragmented feedback collection requiring users to switch between video players and external forms (e.g., Google Forms), leading to low completion rates and inaccurate responses.
2. Target Audience:
   • UX Researchers: Test prototype reactions with real-time feedback.
   • Product Managers: Validate feature adoption during demos.
   • HR/Training Teams: Create interactive onboarding/training videos.
   • Content Marketers: Boost engagement in explainer videos.
3. Use Cases:
   • A/B testing video content effectiveness at specific scenes.
   • Qualifying leads during product tours via embedded questions.
   • Reducing cognitive load in compliance training with skip logic.

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Unlike standalone form builders (Typeform, SurveyMonkey) or basic video tools (Loom), Video Forms merges both functionalities into a single interactive layer, eliminating tab-switching and boosting completion rates by 40–60% (industry estimate).
2. Key Innovation: Proprietary frame-syncing technology ensures questions trigger at exact video moments (<100ms latency), while browser-based processing requires no installations or plugins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can Video Forms host my videos?
   No—it integrates exclusively with YouTube for video hosting, leveraging its infrastructure for scalability and compatibility.
2. Does skip logic work on mobile devices?
   Yes, skip logic functions responsively across iOS/Android via HTML5 video players, adapting to touch interactions.
3. What question types are supported?
   Multiple-choice, text inputs, and rating scales; file uploads or matrix questions are unavailable currently.
4. Is data exportable for external analysis?
   Yes, all responses export to CSV/Excel for integration with tools like Google Sheets or Tableau.
5. How secure is response data?
   Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), with GDPR-compliant storage on AWS servers.
