Video Feedback for Coaches: Asynchronous 360 & Stakeholder Reviews
Written survey bullets flatten out warmth, hesitation, and vocal emphasis—the very signals an executive coach needs to hear when gathering stakeholder feedback for a client. Evaluation Guru lets respondents answer any of our three built-in templates—including the 3-question Stop, Start, Continue format—by recording up to 3 minutes of video directly in their browser with zero logins or app installs.

Sample Questions (10 included)
10 prompts that work best for 3-minute video feedback
When a respondent selects Video Response in Evaluation Guru, the template’s prompts stay pinned right below the camera preview. Using the built-in 3-question Stop, Start, Continue template keeps on-screen prompts concise while you share any of the 10 speaking prompts below in your campaign description and personal note to guide respondents.
- 1Stop · Candid coaching
“In 60 seconds, what is one habit this leader should STOP doing because it gets in the way of their impact?”
Why it works: Speaking on camera naturally softens blunt critiques with constructive tone and goodwill.
- 2Stop · Letting go
“Where should this person STOP jumping in to solve problems that their team is ready to own?”
Why it works: Prompts the speaker to share a quick, specific moment where the leader stepped in too soon.
- 3Start · Next-quarter focus
“What is one high-leverage behavior this person should START practicing over the next 90 days?”
Why it works: Gives the coach and client a clear, forward-looking headline.
- 4Start · Stakeholder alignment
“How could this person START communicating earlier when priorities or expectations shift?”
Why it works: Invites practical suggestions on how colleagues prefer to be kept in the loop.
- 5Start · Executive presence
“What should this person START doing in leadership or cross-functional meetings to bring out the best in the room?”
Why it works: Peers can describe room dynamics much more vividly out loud than in writing.
- 6Continue · Core strength
“What is this person’s superpower that they should CONTINUE leaning on?”
Why it works: Hearing a colleague genuinely describe a leader’s strength on video is unforgettable in a coaching debrief.
- 7Continue · Visible growth
“Which recent improvement or habit shift have you noticed that this person should CONTINUE building on?”
Why it works: Validates the hard work the coaching client has been putting in.
- 8Continue · Storytelling
“Tell a 45-second story of a recent moment when this person was at their best.”
Why it works: Spoken stories capture context, emotion, and detail that people rarely type.
- 9Continue · Steadiness
“When tensions or deadlines run high, what does this person CONTINUE doing that helps the team stay grounded?”
Why it works: Highlights how the subject’s demeanor affects others under stress.
- 10Start / Stop · Advisor perspective
“If you were coaching this leader for the next three months, what is the one piece of advice you would give them?”
Why it works: Puts the respondent in a supportive advisor frame of mind before they hit record.
Practical Facilitation Guide
Tips for getting great video responses in 360 rounds
How you frame the invitation, protect respondent anonymity, and follow up before the deadline matters just as much as the questions you ask.
When Anonymous Feedback is enabled, Evaluation Guru enforces a minimum of 3 completed responses before unlocking the report, hides individual completion statuses, and shuffles written answers.
1. Be transparent about how video interacts with anonymity
In Evaluation Guru, enabling Anonymous Feedback enforces a minimum of 3 completed responses and strips names and emails. However, a video recording naturally shows the speaker’s face and voice. Evaluation Guru warns both the coach and the respondent upfront, and any respondent who wants to stay unidentifiable can switch to Written Response with one click.
2. Use named campaigns when you want maximum video participation
When stakeholders know their feedback is a named, high-trust gift for a colleague’s coaching engagement, video adoption is significantly higher—and you can choose in the report settings whether to include videos on the client’s shared report link.
3. Reassure invitees that 90 seconds is plenty
Tell recipients in your personal note: "Feel free to type a few bullets or record a casual 90-second video—no polish required, and you can re-record before submitting."
4. Use the personal note to highlight 2–3 speaking prompts
Include two or three of the sample questions above in your campaign’s personal note and description so respondents have concrete examples in mind before they click record.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Are respondents forced to record a video if I enable Video Responses?
Never. Enabling video simply gives each respondent a choice at the top of the form between Written Response and Video Response.
How does anonymity work if someone submits a video?
Anonymous campaigns require at least 3 completed responses before unlocking the report and label video items as "Anonymous Video Respondent." Because a video still shows the person’s face and voice, Evaluation Guru displays a prominent identity notice before recording and lets the respondent choose a Written Response to stay completely anonymous.
What are the technical limits and storage details for video responses?
Respondents can record up to 3 minutes per evaluation (up to 100 MB in WebM or MP4 format) directly in their browser using MediaRecorder. Videos upload in the background as soon as recording stops and are stored on Hetzner volumes in Germany (EU).
Which template does this page map to?
This guide maps to our built-in 3-question Stop, Start, Continue template, though video responses can be enabled on all three built-in templates: Stop, Start, Continue, 360° Performance Review, and Net Promoter Score.
