How to add a video to a prerequisite
If you want volunteers to watch a training video—or any required video, e.g., an About Us film, etc.—before they participate in Opportunities posted on your site, you can with a prerequisite. This can be a great way to have volunteers watch a video on safety regulations or any other important information you want to share with them before they can be considered qualified to participate. To get started:
1. Go to Volunteerism > Prerequisites. 
2. Click Add New Prerequisite. 
3. Fill out the Create Prerequisite page. 
- Click here to learn more about creating prerequisites and waivers.
✅ Best practice: We recommend selecting the Dropdown type for this prerequisite. 
- You can then select Auto approve if the correct answer is selected and select which answer is the correct one for them to choose from.
- When the volunteer selects the correct answer, they're automatically approved for it.
- This is great if you plan to ask them a question specific to the video—i.e., a question that can only be answered by watching the video first.
4. Toggle the button beside Add Content Link to On. 
5. Copy and paste the URL for the video you're attaching to the prerequisite in the Link URL field.
6. You can either enter a call to action in the Link Text or the title of the video.
- e.g., Click here to watch the training video or Volunteering with Us
7. Click Create Prerequisite.
