Do you want to make sure your respondents watch part of or all of your video before they give an answer? Delay the display of answers to lock any call-to-action buttons until your video is played to a certain point!
Using this option can be a useful way to ensure your employees, clients, or students are watching an entire video before answering.
Once the amount of time you set up has passed, respondents are able to fully interact with the answer options.
Note: The answer option delay correlates with the timestamp of the video. This means that if video controls are visible, a respondent may use them to skip ahead in the video and reveal the answer options more quickly.

SelectĀ Answer in the right-hand sidebar.
Type the number of seconds you'd like to delay the answer options from appearing in the Delay interaction text field.
