You will need to fill the following information about the question:

* **Question text:** Enter the text of the question
* **Additional instructions:** Optionally provide the candidate with additional instructions on how to answer the question.
* **Maximum duration of answer:** Select the maximum duration allowed of the answer.
* **Maximum number of takes:** Select the maximum number of video takes the candidate can record, allowing them to choose the best one.
* **Time to think:** If this option is selected, the candidate will see the question text only when they click the **Show question** button. A timed countdown begins when this button clicked and the recording starts automatically when the countdown ends.
* **Rank:** Select the rank of the question to order it appropriately within the interview.
* **Question in video format:** Optionally record a video version of the question that the candidate will view in addition to the question text. You may also upload a pre-recorded video if you have one.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.smartcv.co/video-interviews/manage-video-interviews/add-questions-to-a-video-interview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
