Record an audio or video question

Record a short audio or video question, or upload a clip you already have.

You can send your question as a short audio or video recording instead of typing it. A recording is a question you send in. It doesn't put you live on air.

Steps

  1. Open the Q&A tab. Under Choose how to contribute, pick Record an audio question or Record a video question.
  2. Choose Record audio or Record video. Your browser asks to use your microphone or camera. Choose Allow.
  3. Speak your question. You have up to 60 seconds. Choose Stop when you're done.
  4. Play it back to check it. Choose Record again if you want another go.
  5. Or choose Upload a file to send a recording you already have. It must be under 25 MB, and be an MP4, WebM, MOV, MP3 or Ogg file.
  6. Type a short description in A short description of your question.
  7. Tick I agree that this recording may be played in the event and included in its replay.
  8. Choose Submit question.
