Have you ever been to a YouTube live
stream and seen those cool questionnaires
that they have pinned down on the
description, the ones you can fill out.
And it sends questions
right to the creator.
If you want to learn how to make those
for free using your Google drive account.
Stick around.
I'll show you how the first thing
you want to do is make sure that
you're logged into your Google
account and in Google, just type
drive.google.com into the address bar.
And you can access your Google
drive folder that comes free
with your Google account.
Now to create a questionnaire, you need
to go to the upper left and click on
new and scroll down to Google forms.
This will open up a blank untitled form.
It'll even give you some tips
on how to use this page, but
let me show you how I do it.
Each one of these areas can be modified.
Let's start with the title of the form.
I'll click on that and change
it to ask Daniel a question.
Now you can put a description
below that as well.
Once that's done, you can start
creating the sections below that.
It starts with an untitled question.
So let's change that to something like
what's your channel name things you
might want to know in the questionnaire.
Now over on the right here,
it gives you the choice of how
you'd like to present answers.
These can either be short answers,
paragraphs multiple choices, checkboxes,
dropdowns, but for our purposes,
we probably just want to give these
people an area to put in a short
answer and drop their channel name.
Down in the lower right.
Let's click on required so that they
have to put their channel name in.
If you want to know who
asked you the question?
The next thing we'll need is
another section where they can
actually put their question in.
So let's go up to this plus
option and add another section.
Let's have this question.
Say, ask your question here.
Again, you have the options of
how you'd like to give people the
ability to answer this question.
And I think paragraph
makes a little sense.
So they have a longer answer text area.
We'll also make that a required option
so they have to give their channel
name and ask their question before
they can submit it, but we can even
make this form look a little cooler.
In the upper right.
You'll notice there's
a little color palette.
Let's click on that and now we can
change some of the look of this form.
There's some preset colors that create
the look and feel of each of these forms.
It's not incredibly advanced,
but it'll get the job done.
You can pick any of the preset colors that
it'll work with, or if there's something
you don't see, you can use the sliding
color scale to make that happen as well.
I usually use something
simple, like a red or a gray.
You can also change the background
colors to make them a little more intense
or a little more subdued, but we can
also add a header image here as well.
Let's click on choose image.
I don't have anything specific
uploaded, so I'll go to upload and bring
something in right from my computer.
As a matter of fact,
I'll use my channel art.
That seems to make sense.
Google allows you to define the
area in the image you've updated so
it can create the perfect header.
Let's just balance this right
on the center section of my
channel art and click done.
And now it'll insert that right up top.
Let me see if there's
a better color option.
I can add to go with that channel art.
I'm going to choose something more blue.
It looks a little better now, once we're
all done, we don't have any saving to do.
Google will actually just put this in
your Google drive folder and save all
these changes you've made automatically.
But if you want to take this form
and put it into the description
of your live stream, what you'll
need to do is in the upper right.
Click on send.
Now it gives you options to
send it via email and such.
But in this case, we just want to
create a link that users can click
on in order to ask you questions.
So we'll click on the link option.
This is a somewhat longer link, but Google
gives us the ability to shorten that link.
Once it's a little more
manageable, let's click on copy.
And now we have that link ready to drop
into the descriptions of our live streams.
Or we can even send that out ahead of
time to get people asking questions
before the stream even goes live.
Let's close that out and
in another window, let me
show you how this will work.
If I paste that in and go to the
form, this is what people will see.
You can see, it'll ask
what their channel name is.
Let's fill that out.
And then it asked to
drop the question below.
Once they click submit, they'll
get a screen that tells them
their response has been recorded.
But on your end, while you're logged
back into Google drive, you'll
see up top of your questionnaire.
There is an option for responses.
If you click on that.
It will actually pull up the
responses that people have
dropped into this questionnaire.
This shows us the single response
that we've gotten so far from Daniel.
Butzel asking how to make a questionnaire.
It'll actually list all of these
in the summary as they come in.
So you can get an idea of how many
questions you have, but you can also
click on individual and it'll bring
up the individual question and the
ability to scroll through them above.
One of thing is you can actually title
this entire form so that you know what it
is in your Google drive in the upper left.
If you click on it, it'll
automatically insert the title
that you used in the form.
So let's keep that one and back in
our Google drive, once we reload
that page, you'll see that the ask
Daniel, a question form is now inside
of our Google drive folder, ready
to read at any other point in time.
