Enhancing user experience with Audio/Video Upload in Zoho Forms

Enhancing user experience with Audio/Video Upload in Zoho Forms

Hello form builders!

Today, interactive forms are an integral part of websites and applications. While text-based inputs serve a variety of purposes, audio and video uploads can open up a world of possibilities for businesses.



Imagine you are a talent management company that organizes an annual online talent contest to discover exceptional performers around the globe and offer them opportunities in the entertainment industry. To make the selection process more exciting and interactive, you can now use the Audio/Video Upload field on your application form. In addition to a text-based bio with information such as the performer's name, age, location, and talent category, contestants can upload a short audio or video file showcasing their skills. Singers can upload a song, dancers can upload a choreographed routine, and comedians can upload a funny sketch.
The judging panel can review the form submissions and easily assess the contestants' stage presence, charisma, and ability to captivate an audience.

Benefits of the Audio/Video Upload field 

Allow users to explain ideas or showcase their talents in a more expressive and immersive format.
Make the form-filling process more engaging and interactive, capturing the attention of users and increasing their willingness to participate.
Foster a sense of personal connection, as people can express emotions and experiences that might be challenging to convey through text alone.
Allow job applicants to introduce themselves in a more dynamic and captivating manner. This can be especially beneficial for creative roles, where portfolios and pitches can be shared more effectively through audio or video.
Collect more comprehensive feedback on your products or services by allowing customers to share audio/video reviews. This can help you identify pain points and areas for improvement. 

Simplifying data organization 

When multiple respondents submit files with different names, organizing and managing data can become challenging. To streamline this process and ensure consistency, Zoho Forms lets you automatically rename uploaded files when a respondent submits the form. With consistent file names, managing and sorting through large volumes of audio and video files is a breeze. Plus, respondents often appreciate a well-organized and user-friendly submission process. By automatically renaming their uploaded files, you demonstrate professionalism and enhance their overall experience.

Learn more about adding the Audio/Video Upload field to your form and let us know how this field has helped you enhance the data collection process.
 
Cheers,
Samhita
