The Beautiful Community | Badge of the Month | June 2026

This is a neat idea! I'll start us off with something I worked on recently: a QSF that ensures respondents view entire videos before proceeding (for both uploaded MP4s and YouTube).

In a previous setup, we used a Timing question to hide the Next button for about the length of the video, but respondents would just click through as soon as it appeared. We switched to using “video ended” events to control the Next button, but needed a way to stop people from skipping ahead, especially on mobile. It was also important to allow respondents to rewind if needed.

In the updated setup:

• For MP4s, the native controls are still there, but I added custom controls and JS that prevents forward seeking. Users can play, pause, and rewind, but can't jump ahead. The Next button only activates once the video ends.
• For YouTube, (most) native controls are hidden and replaced with custom ones, and playback/end detection are handled through YouTube’s IFrame API. Since the native controls are removed, users can't skip ahead, and the Next button only activates once the video ends.

You can check it out using the survey link below (Sample Pre-Test, Uploaded MP4, YouTube, Sample Post-Test) and try it yourself with the attached QSF.

Example Survey

​@Tom_1842, what a great workaround and helpful resources that I’m sure many will find useful! +200 points

Anonymised responses

Just enabling anonymised response in survey options is not enough when there are any “End of survey” element in survey flow or Quota that overwrites the survey options.

Within each “End of survey” element or Quota, the “Do NOT record any personal information and remove panel association” also needs to be enabled.

P.s Just curious,

1) Does earlier tasks need to be completed in order to work on the later task?

2) Does completing more stages stack the points or is it based on highest target completed?

3) Are the tasks and bonus plays repeatable?

Here’s a little utility I designed to help dashboard builders to visually identify deprecated widgets in their dashboards.

It’s a bookmarklet (javascript function saved and executed in a browser bookmark). Fully load a dashboard page (scroll down to bottom and let all widgets load: Qualtrics doesn’t load widgets until they are displayed for efficiency reasons) and then run the bookmarklet.

Video demo attached.

javascript: (function () {
    var D = ['reporting.breakdowntrends', 'reporting.scatterplot', 'reporting.star', 'reporting.image', 'reporting.breakdownbar', 'reporting.simpletable', 'reporting.simplechart', 'reporting.pivottable', 'reporting.imageslideshow', 'reporting.recordgrid', 'reporting.voiceletticker', 'reporting.mapview', 'reporting.distributionstable', 'reporting.breakdowntable', 'reporting.multiplesourcetable'];

    function match(n, d) {
        if (n.indexOf(d) !== 0) return false;
        var c = n.charAt(d.length);
        return c === '' || c === '.';
    }

    function detect(w) {
        var all = w.querySelectorAll('*');
        for (var d = 0; d < D.length; d++) {
            var cls = D[d].replace(/\./g, '-');
            for (var k = 0; k < all.length; k++) {
                var el = all[k],
                    at = el.attributes;
                for (var a = 0; a < at.length; a++) {
                    if (match(at[a].name, D[d])) return D[d];
                }
                if (el.classList && el.classList.contains(cls)) return D[d];

    function overlay(w, d) {
        var l = d.replace('reporting.', '');
        var anchor = w.querySelector('.base-widget') || w;
        if (window.getComputedStyle(anchor).position === 'static') anchor.style.position = 'relative';

            total = 0;
        for (var k = 0; k < keys.length; k++) total += counts[keys[k]];
