Image/Video Choice Question

Image/Video Choice Question

Overview

The Image/Video Choice question type in SurveySensum allows survey creators to present answer options using images or videos instead of only text, making surveys more visual and engaging for respondents.


Respondents select their preferred option by clicking on a media-based choice card, which behaves just like a Multiple Choice question in the survey. This question type is ideal for product testing, ad evaluation, brand recognition, and any scenario where visual stimuli are central to the research.

How to Access the Feature


  1. Click on Editor from the left sidebar.

  2. Hover between existing questions until the + icon appears. Click it to insert a new question at that position.

  3. In the question type panel that opens, search for or scroll to Image/Video Choice.

  4. Select Image/Video Choice to add it to your survey. It appears after Short Text in the panel list.

Building the Question

Once you have selected the Image/Video Choice question type, the question builder opens with the following components:

           1. Question Text Field: Enter the question text in the main text field. This text is displayed to respondents above the media options.Media Choice   
          2. Options: Each answer option consists of two parts
                  Media Upload Icon: Click on media upload icon to open the Upload Media modal and attach an image or video to that option.

                  Option Text Field: Enter a label or name for the option. This label appears alongside or below the media.


Info
You can mix images and videos within the same question — for example, some options can be images while others are video files.

       3. Upload Media Modal : When you click the media upload icon on any option, the Upload Media modal appears with two methods to attach media:
    1. Upload media files directly from your device.

      • Supported formats: Image files (JPEG, PNG, etc.) and video formats.

      • Both images and videos can be uploaded within the same question.

      • Image size limit: Under 1 MB.

      • Video size limit: Under 10 MB.

    1. Upload via Video URL : Paste a video URL (YouTube and other supported platforms) instead of uploading a file directly. The system fetches and displays a media preview from the provided URL automatically.
    2. Media Preview Window: Displays the selected image or video. Use this to verify you have selected the correct file

Require Full Video Watch Before Continuing

A toggle that enforces complete video viewing before respondents can proceed. When enabled:

  • Respondents must watch the complete video before they can proceed to the next question or submit a response.

  • The system restricts skipping or answering until video playback is fully completed.

  • Important: This setting only applies when the option contains a video file. If the option contains only images, the setting is disabled.
