Video & Audio Responses in Kiwiform
The Video & Audio field in Kiwiform lets you collect rich responses directly from respondents using their video, audio, text, or a combination of all three depending on how you want people to respond. As a free Typeform alternative, Kiwiform makes it easy to capture more human, detailed responses while keeping forms simple to configure and manage.
What the video and audio response fields does
The Video & Audio field lets respondents reply using recorded video, recorded audio, or written text. This is useful when you want more expressive responses, feedback in a respondent’s own voice, or quick recorded submissions instead of long written answers.
You can enable one or more response types depending on what you want to collect. For example, you can allow only video responses, only audio responses, or give respondents the option to choose between video, audio, and text.
