Forms overview

Short answer

VideoTestimonials collects testimonials through forms. Open Dashboard → Forms and click Create New Form, then build the pages, set Response Types and video length in the Settings tab, and share the link from the Trigger tab. Each space has one default form, marked with a crown. Free allows 1 form per space, Starter 3, Pro 10 and Business unlimited.

Forms are the main way to collect testimonials in VideoTestimonials, allowing you to gather feedback from customers through customizable forms.

Understanding Forms

Forms in VideoTestimonials are versatile tools that you can tailor to fit different campaigns, audiences, or use cases. They allow you to collect both video and text testimonials, and you can manage multiple forms within your workspace.

Accessing Forms

Navigate to Forms at https://app.videotestimonials.video/dashboard/forms. You'll see every form in your active space plus quick actions to create, edit, duplicate, or delete each one.

Creating a new form

  1. Click Create New Form on the Forms page.
  2. Give the form a name (required) and an optional description.
  3. In the form builder's Settings tab, choose Response Types (Video & text, Video only, or Text only) and the Maximum Video Duration, then tweak pages on the Form tab as needed.
  4. Click Save Changes and share the collection link.

Managing forms

From the Forms list you can:

  • Edit Form — open the form builder to change questions or layout.
  • Duplicate — create a copy (useful when A/B-testing different pages).
  • Delete — remove a form. You can't delete the default form until you mark a different one as default.
  • Default — a Crown icon marks the default form (used when someone visits your space root URL without a form slug).

Form limits

Your plan determines how many forms you can create per space: 1 on Free, 3 on Starter, 10 on Pro, and unlimited on Business. When you hit the limit, the Create New Form button changes to Upgrade to Create More.

Frequently asked questions

Do my customers need an account to fill in a form?

No. The form is a public page that opens in any browser from your link. Customers don't sign up or install anything; video recording only asks for camera and microphone permission. Their name is required only when the About You page collects it, and an email is required only on spin-the-wheel forms.

Can one form collect both video and text testimonials?

Yes. New forms accept both, and on each question step the customer picks Record a video or Respond with text. To accept only one kind, open the form's Settings tab and set Response Types to Video only or Text only; the other option is then hidden from the form.

What happens when I pause a form?

Turn on Stop collecting submissions in the form's Settings tab, or switch the Status on its Forms card to Inactive. Visitors then see a This form is closed message, the server rejects new submissions, and views stop counting. Testimonials you already collected are not affected.

Which form opens from my space's main collection link?

The default form, marked with a crown on the Forms page. Its link ends at your space slug, while every other form adds its own form slug. To change it, open another form card's menu and choose Set as Default. The default form can't be deleted until a different form is the default.
