How to Add a Welcome Video to Your Assessment

A welcome video plays for candidates before they begin your assessment, giving them a personal introduction and setting clear expectations. Follow these steps to add one.

Before you begin

• You have an active Testlify account.
• You have at least one assessment to edit (or are ready to create one).

Add a Welcome Video to Your Assessment

1. Log in to Testlify. Go to app.testlify.com and sign in with your email and OTP.

   

2. Open the Assessments tab. Click Assessments in the dashboard navigation.

   

3. Edit your assessment. Click the three-dot menu next to the assessment you want to update, then select Edit.

   

4. Go to Settings. In the assessment editor, click the Settings tab (the fourth option in the editor).

   

5. Click Welcome Video. Inside the Settings panel, select Welcome Video.

   

6. Choose a video source. Click Welcome Video Source to expand two options:

   • Video URL — paste a link from YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, Wistia, or Vidyard.
   • Upload Video — upload a video file directly from your device.

   

7. Add your video.

   • Video URL: Paste the video link into the input field that appears.

     

   • Upload Video: Select the video file from your device using the upload option.

     

8. Save. Click Save. The video will now play for candidates before they start the assessment.

Tip: Keep your welcome video under 2 minutes. A short, direct message helps candidates stay focused and reduces drop-off before the assessment starts.
