Creating an interview style quiz
How to create an interview style quiz using the video / audio response question type
By using the video / audio response question type and the media controls / restrictions, you can simulate an interview with your candidates. We also have clients who use this type of quiz for language testing to simulate a conversation.
After selecting a video / audio response question type, use the 'Upload video / audio stem' function to upload the question you are asking the candidate on the question tab.
To most closely simulate an actual interview, we can set up the question to play your question and ensure the user answers immediately with no chance to delete that initial response. If you repeat the following steps for multiple questions in the same quiz, the user will hear your question when opening a question, immediately after this finishes their recording will start automatically and they will be advanced to the next question without the option to pause / re-record
The below example uses a video stem which is 2 minutes 46 seconds long.
Answer tab settings
From the answer tab settings you acn configure whether or not a candidates answer should be automatically recorded and for how long, if theres a delay between the audio stem playing and the answer recording starting. Use the auto advanced settings if you'd like users to be automatically progressed to the next question. And additional controls to prevent users from pausing and re-recording to allow for a 'one shot' style capture of their response.
Enable auto-recording so that the recording starts immediately after the audio / video stem has finished
Set the recording delay to be the same length as the media so the auto-recording kicks in immediately after the audio / video stem has finished. So if the audio / video stem is 2 minutes 46 seconds, set the recording delay to 2 minutes 46 seconds
Set a custom maximum recording time
Auto advance immediately after audio recording has finished
Do not allow responses to be deleted and re-recorded AND Do not allow responses to be paused and resumed

Configuration tab
From here you can customise how many times an audio or video stem can be played, whether stems should be auto played and choose whether to disable progress until its finished.
Restrict play count to 1
Auto play when question is displayed
Disable progression until audio/video is played

Media controls
From Here you just need to disable playback controls and have additional auto advanced controls
