Interactive video in Verbalu

A video survey that works like a conversation

You record short clips and join them into a tree. The recipient opens a link and answers, and the next clip depends on their choice. You see which way they went and what they said.

  • No account or app for the recipient
  • Free plan with no card
  • Pro US$12 a month per organization

Walk through the conversation as the recipient and see what the author sees next to it

This is an example without a recording: in a real conversation your video plays instead of this card.

What it is for

One tool, three kinds of conversation

For everything where an email is too little and a meeting is too much.

  • Before you meet

    Sales and consulting

    • Opening a client conversation before the first call: they pick what matters to them and get a clip about exactly that
    • Answers to the questions clients ask most often: price, rollout, security, each in its own branch
    • A short recap after a meeting with a question about what comes next
  • Before the room and after it

    Training

    • Learning participants' needs before a training
    • Feedback after a training spoken aloud instead of typed into a form
    • A step-by-step how-to with a separate branch for common mistakes, also as a course step
  • First days and new rules

    HR and L&D

    • Welcoming a new person to the team
    • A new procedure explained by the person responsible for it, with a question after each step
    • The team's voice after a change in the company: a few questions and an answer in their own words

How it reaches people

Paste it into an email and send it from your own inbox

You don't need another sending tool. From the session console you copy a ready snippet: the picture of the clip with a play button and the link to the conversation.

  • A still or moving picture, made from the first 3 seconds of the clip
  • A personal link greets people by name, and the report shows who went which way
  • Paste a list of people or upload a CSV file, and the links are created for you

Hi Anna,

I recorded a short video for you. You can answer with one tap.

How it is made

From the goal of the conversation to the first answer

You build the tree yourself or with AI, and you record clips in the browser. There is nothing to install.

  1. Build the tree

    Write the goal of the conversation and AI suggests the steps, the text of each clip and the answer options. Or start from an empty canvas. A tree has up to 40 cards.

  2. Record the clips

    Camera and teleprompter in the browser, a phone through a QR code, or a ready MP4, WebM or MOV file. A clip runs up to 3 minutes.

  3. Send it

    Set the limit of people and take the link, the QR code or the ready email snippet. A list of people gets personal links.

  4. Read the conversations

    You get a notification after every conversation. The report has the path map, the answers, the voice recordings and a CSV export.

The Video Survey editor: clip cards joined by lines into a conversation tree
The editor. You drag cards and lines around the canvas, and the editor makes sure no branch is left hanging.
The Video Survey report: a path map with the number of people at each answer
The report. The width of a line shows how many people picked an option. Clicking an option recalculates the report for those people only.

Real Video Survey screens with example data.

What you get

Everything a conversation on video needs

  • A canvas with no dead ends

    You drag cards and lines, and a conversation with a hanging branch or a loop cannot be published.

  • A tree from AI

    Describe the goal or add materials and AI lays out the steps and the text of the clips. You record them yourself, AI never touches the recordings.

  • Teleprompter and series

    You read from the screen while looking at the camera, and Record a series takes you through all the cards in turn.

  • Record on your phone

    A QR code moves the recording to your phone, and the clip comes back to the right card.

  • Trimming

    Cut the start and the end of a clip without leaving the editor.

  • The question at the right moment

    Right away, after the clip ends or from a chosen second. You set it on each card.

  • Personal links

    Each person gets their own link, which greets them by name and returns to where they stopped.

  • Answers by voice or text

    In the steps you choose, the recipient speaks for up to 60 seconds or writes. We turn the voice into text.

  • Path map

    You see which way people went and where they split. Results download to CSV.

  • AI summary

    A few sentences on what keeps coming up in the answers. AI works on words only, without names.

  • Your brand

    On paid plans the recipient sees your logo and colours instead of Verbalu.

  • Language versions

    AI translates the texts and questions, and the audio stays in the language of the recording.

Comparison

VideoAsk or Video Survey?

VideoAsk is a mature product and stronger at some jobs. These are the differences that decide the choice.

What else is on the accountVideo forms, NPS, payments and appointment scheduling Quizzes, surveys, courses, whiteboards and training games on the same account

VideoAsk fits better when:

  • you want recipients to answer on video
  • you collect contacts from strangers through a form in the conversation
  • you send answers to a CRM through Zapier or an API
  • you put the conversation on a website as a widget for every visitor

Video Survey fits better when:

  • you talk to specific people and want to know who chose what
  • your tree has more than 3 steps and you want to start without paying
  • you prefer a fixed price per organization to a meter of minutes
  • you run training and want the conversation next to a quiz, course and survey

VideoAsk is a service of Typeform, and the name and mark belong to their owner. Verbalu is not affiliated with that company. The facts come from VideoAsk's public pages as of 1 November 2026, and the EUR prices are those shown when viewing from Poland.

Pricing

You pay per organization, not per minute

The account is free and enough for your first tree. A paid plan helps when you have more clips and want the conversation to look like yours.

    • 100 MB of space, about 11 minutes of clips

    • 200 AI credits every month

Create a free account

Recipients don't create accounts and don't count as users. A transcript costs 1 AI credit per 20 minutes of speech, and you can top up credits in packs: US$9 for 100. You change or cancel the plan in your account settings.

Data and security

Your face and your client's voice under control

  • Files in the European Union

    Clips and recipients' recordings are stored in data centres in the EU.

  • Recipients' recordings: 30 days

    After that the server deletes them by itself. Transcripts and written answers stay until the session is deleted.

  • Video with no public address

    A clip's address is created only after the recipient clicks Start, and it soon expires. Only your organization reads the answers.

  • AI reads words only

    No analysis of tone of voice, emotions or faces. Your clips never go to any AI model.

Questions

Before you start

Does the recipient need an account or an app?

No. The recipient clicks a link or scans a QR code and watches in the browser on a phone or computer. They type a first name at most, and with a personal link not even that.

Can the recipient answer on video?

No. The recipient picks an option and, in the steps you choose, speaks for up to 60 seconds or writes. If you need answers with a picture, for example in recruitment, this tool is not made for that.

How many people can watch one video survey?

Each session has a limit you set yourself: up to 100 people on paid plans and up to 30 on Start. What counts is a person who clicked Start, so neither a mail scanner nor the same person coming back uses it up. Need more? Open another session from the same tree.

How long can a clip be?

Up to 3 minutes, and a tree has up to 40 cards. You can record a clip in the browser or upload an MP4, WebM or MOV file of up to 500 MB.

Do clips have captions?

There are no automatic captions. You can add the text of each clip: the recipient reads it when they can't turn on the sound or when the clip won't load.

How do I send it by email?

In the session console you copy a ready snippet with the picture of the clip and the link, paste it into a message and send it from your own inbox. Verbalu does not send these emails for you. A moving picture works in most mail apps, and Outlook on a computer shows the first frame.

Can I send the link to people who don't know me?

You are responsible for who you write to. In many countries, including most of the EU, a commercial message sent by email needs the recipient's prior consent, often between companies too. Video Survey works best in a conversation that has already begun: after an enquiry, a trade fair, a referral or a meeting.

Will the recipient see my brand?

On paid plans the recipient sees your logo and colours instead of Verbalu. On Start they see Verbalu.

Can I embed the conversation on a website?

There is no website widget. The conversation works through a link and a QR code, and inside Verbalu also as a course step.

Do I have to use AI?

No. You can build the tree by hand and listen to voice answers without AI. AI credits are used only by the tree generator, transcripts and the report summary, when you use them.

Where are the recordings and who sees them?

The files are in data centres in the EU. The server deletes recipients' recordings after 30 days, and only your organization reads the answers. Before recording, the recipient is told that only the sender will hear it and when it will be deleted.
