How to Add Video Replies to SureDash Discussions

Video replies put a record button in the SureDash discussion composer. Members can answer a post with a quick video instead of typing a long reply. Coaches can do the same, so feedback feels like a real conversation. You turn it on per space, and each space can have its own settings.

Applies to: Presto Capture 1.0.0 and above.

Before You Begin

• Presto Capture active, with your licence key added.
• SureDash installed and active, with at least one space.
• Your site running on HTTPS.

Turn On Video Replies for a Space

1. Go to SureDash > Spaces.
2. Open the space where you want video replies.
3. Open the space settings.
4. Turn on video replies.
5. Click Save.

Note: Video replies are off by default. Turn them on only in the spaces where you want them.

Space Settings

Each space can use its own recording settings. Leave them as they are to use your Presto Capture defaults.

Tip: A coaching space might allow 5-minute screen recordings. A general chat space might allow 60-second camera clips only.

What Members See

Members see a record button in the reply box under any discussion in that space. They click it, record, watch it back, and post. The video shows up in the thread like any other reply.

Private Video Replies

When privacy is set to Private, a video reply plays only for members of that space. Anyone outside the space can’t watch it, even with a direct link.

Good to Know

• Each member’s videos are easy to find. Recordings from a member are tagged so you can find all of their videos together, for example, if they ask you to remove them.
• Deleting a reply keeps the video. To remove the video too, delete it from Presto Capture > Recordings.
• Phones can record with the camera. Screen recording needs a computer.

Video replies are now live in your space. Try posting the first one yourself, so members can see how it works.
