Embedded video doesn't show + can there be a question with no answer option was created by Hersis
Hello.
I am a student who would like to do some research with the help of LimeSurvey (it's the only platform available at my university).
First of, in my research I have to show videos to the subjects. These videos contain a few words that have to be shown for a specific time period. These videos should not be re-watched by the subjects. That's why I'm wondering if there is any type of question (or sth other maybe?) in the LimeSurvey that allows to view videos, can be time-limited and automatically change to the 1st question in my test after that time is up.
I tried to put those videos in a question, but it doesn't look good, cause there are always some "choose option" or "write answer here" visible. And I don't want subjects to answer me at this point - only to watch video. Is there any way to do this?
The other problem I'm encountering is that whatever I try, no video I put in a question is visible when I click "preview survey/question group/question".
I can put the video (mp4) into the LimeSurvey files and when I upload it into a question it works fine in the editor, but never shows up in the preview.
Similar thing happens when I try to put an embedded video from YT. But this time only a frame is visible in the editor - no video content that should be there. In the preview there is nothing visible at all.
Please note, that I have zero knowledge about coding. I tried to follow the instructions I found on this forum (e.g.: forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...videos-in-limesurvey ) but to no avail.
Since I have little time to complete my research, I would be very grateful for any advice or tips you could offer.

For one of the issues you should have a look at the different question types available in Limesurvey:
manual.limesurvey.org/Question_types
And specifically here: manual.limesurvey.org/Question_types#Text_display
The text display question type is exactly for this purpose. To present text or images without actually having any answer options.

Check with your system administrator to see if you have permissions to insert videos.I can put the video (mp4) into the LimeSurvey files and when I upload it into a question it works fine in the editor, but never shows up in the preview.

Thank you very much, I'll try to contact them. Unfortunately I don't know how long it'll take them to respond and that's what worries me.
