Deactivate or close your videoask

If you want to stop receiving responses to your videoask, you can "close" or deactivate it at any time.

This feature can be particularly useful for job postings or event registrations when you want to schedule a close date in advance, or when you need to control the flow of responses on a day-by-day basis. By adjusting the status of your videoask, you can easily manage incoming responses and keep everything running smoothly. With this level of control, you can focus on what matters mostā€“collecting the responses you need.

āš ļø Important: When you close your videoask, it will still display wherever it has been embedded, but people will not be able to watch, interact with, or respond to it. To allow limited interaction, there is an alternate method to close your videoask.

Note: This feature is only available on paid plans.
