Add more details to each question

Add help text, embedded audio, or a video to media response questions so candidates get extra context before they answer.

Additional information is available only on Media Responses questions.

Open Additional information

1. Create a new job or open an existing job and go to the Questions step.

2. On a media response question card, click the control with the tooltip Add additional information (💬 icon).

3. In the Additional information modal, use the Help text editor to add details.

What you can add

In Help text, you can include:

• Formatted text

• Links

• Code blocks

• Embeds for externally hosted media

• Embedded audio recorded or uploaded with Embed audio

• Column sections, tables, and text blocks with a background image

• To use these layouts, see Use columns, tables, and background-image blocks in the editor

Below the help text editor, you can also add a separate instructional video (upload or record, up to 300MB).

You can upload a previously recorded video or record a video in the modal.

Embed audio in help text

Use Embed audio in the help text toolbar to record from your microphone or upload an audio file, then insert a player candidates can control.

1. In the Help text editor toolbar, click Embed audio.

2. Record or upload:

   • To record in the browser, allow microphone access if prompted, then tap the mic (Start recording). The timer shows elapsed time against a five-minute maximum (for example, 00:00 / 05:00). Tap the mic again (Stop recording) when you finish. Recording stops automatically at five minutes.

   • To use an existing file, choose Upload an audio file and select an audio file.

3. When the dialog switches to Preview audio, play the clip to check it.

4. Click Embed audio to insert the player into the help text, or Discard to clear the clip and try again. Before you have a preview, use Cancel to close the dialog without inserting audio.

5. Click Save on the Additional information modal to keep your changes.
