How to Use ClickUp for Fast Video Feedback
ClickUp makes it easy to replace confusing email threads and long meetings with clear video feedback that teams can watch, comment on, and act on quickly.
This how-to guide walks you through using video feedback to clarify requirements, speed up approvals, and keep your projects on track.
Why Use Video Feedback in ClickUp?
Traditional feedback methods often slow projects down. Typed comments can be misunderstood, and meetings are hard to schedule. Video feedback solves these problems by adding visuals, context, and tone.
When you use video feedback features alongside the rest of your work, you can:
- Explain changes visually instead of writing long messages
- Give stakeholders context in one short recording
- Capture screen, voice, and face for clearer direction
- Store feedback next to tasks so nothing gets lost
On the source page at ClickUp’s blog on video feedback, these benefits are illustrated with examples from design, marketing, and product teams.
Set Up Your Workspace for ClickUp Video Feedback
Before recording, organize your workspace so that video feedback is easy to find and use in everyday work.
Step 1: Create a Space for Feedback-Heavy Work in ClickUp
First, identify the projects that will benefit most from video feedback, such as design reviews or product walkthroughs.
- Create or open a Space dedicated to these projects.
- Use Folders to group related initiatives or clients.
- Create Lists for each project, campaign, or product area.
- Use tasks as the central place to attach or link your videos.
Structuring work this way helps every video stay associated with a specific task or deliverable.
Step 2: Add Custom Fields for Video Status in ClickUp
Custom fields help you track the life cycle of each video review so everyone knows what to do next.
Add custom fields like:
- Feedback Type (bug report, design review, feature demo)
- Reviewer (who must watch and respond)
- Review Status (waiting, in review, approved, changes needed)
Organizing work this way makes video feedback easier to manage at scale.
How to Capture Video Feedback for ClickUp Tasks
Once your structure is ready, start capturing video messages directly connected to specific tasks. The examples on the original ClickUp blog page focus on using short, focused recordings for clarity.
Plan Your Video Feedback Message
Before recording, outline what you need to say so the feedback is specific and actionable.
Decide:
- What decision you need from the viewer
- Which screen, design, or document you will show
- Who needs to watch the video
- What deadline applies to the requested changes
Keeping videos short and intentional helps stakeholders stay engaged.
Record Clear Video Feedback
When you record, follow best practices from the ClickUp blog article to make your message clear.
Use these tips:
- Start with a quick summary of the goal of the video.
- Share your screen and highlight the area you are referencing.
- Use your cursor to point to specific sections while you talk.
- Speak slowly and keep each recording focused on a single topic.
- End with a direct ask, such as “Approve this” or “Please update these three items.”
Short, targeted recordings make it easier for teammates to understand exactly what to change.
Attach and Organize Video Feedback in ClickUp
After recording, keep your videos attached to the right tasks so your team can quickly find and act on them.
Step 1: Add the Video to the Related Task in ClickUp
Every video should live next to the work it describes. To do that:
- Open the relevant task where you want to collect feedback.
- Attach your video file or paste a share link in the task description or comments.
- Label the video clearly, such as “Homepage redesign feedback – round 1.”
- Tag the specific people who must watch the recording.
Keeping the video inside the task ensures that context, files, and comments all stay together.
Step 2: Use Comments and Threads Under Your Video
Encourage teammates to respond directly under the video in the task comments.
They can use comments to:
- Ask clarifying questions
- Summarize what they understood from the video
- Confirm when changes are complete
- Log decisions and approvals
Threaded discussions keep the entire history of the review in one place.
Collaborate Faster with ClickUp Video Feedback Workflows
For larger teams, a consistent workflow around video reviews helps avoid confusion and missed steps.
Define a Review Process in ClickUp
Create a standard review flow for video feedback within each List or Folder.
For example:
- Creator records video and attaches it to the task.
- Task moves to “In Review” status.
- Reviewer watches video and leaves comments or approval.
- Assignee applies changes and updates the task.
- Task moves to “Approved” or “Complete” once done.
These status changes make it easy to see which items are waiting on feedback.
Use ClickUp Views to Track Video Feedback Tasks
Visual views help teams monitor multiple tasks that rely on video reviews.
Consider:
- Board view to see tasks by review status.
- List view to sort tasks by reviewer or due date.
- Calendar view to monitor deadlines for video-based approvals.
By combining structured views with your feedback recordings, you get a full picture of what still needs attention.
Best Practices for Effective ClickUp Video Feedback
The original ClickUp video feedback guide emphasizes clarity, brevity, and easy access. Apply these best practices to your own recordings.
Keep Videos Short and Focused
Whenever possible, keep each video under a few minutes.
Break longer reviews into smaller parts:
- One video per page or feature
- One video per feedback round
- One video per specific issue or bug
This helps teammates find and replay only the sections they need.
Be Specific and Action-Oriented
Vague feedback creates more work. Use specific language in every recording.
For instance, instead of saying, “This section feels off,” say:
- “Change this headline to focus on benefits instead of features.”
- “Increase the font size of this label by two points.”
- “Move this button higher so it appears above the fold.”
Clear direction reduces back-and-forth and ensures faster approvals.
Centralize Resources in ClickUp
Use your workspace as a single source of truth for all video-based reviews. Store:
- Links to design tools and prototypes
- Past versions or earlier feedback videos
- Documentation and style guides
Having everything in one system means new teammates can review the full history of a deliverable just by opening the task.
Scaling Your ClickUp Video Feedback Process
As your usage grows, refine your process and automate what you can.
Template Feedback Tasks in ClickUp
Turn frequently used review flows into task templates so your team does not need to rebuild them every time.
Include in the template:
- Custom fields for feedback type and reviewer
- Preset subtasks for “Record video,” “Review video,” and “Apply changes”
- Standard descriptions explaining how to attach and comment on videos
Task templates help you roll out one consistent feedback experience across teams.
Combine ClickUp With Expert Process Design
To design even more efficient review workflows, pair your internal setup with expert consulting. Specialists such as Consultevo can help map out and optimize complex review processes across departments while still keeping video feedback at the center.
Next Steps
By organizing your workspace, recording concise messages, and tying every video directly to a task, you can transform how your team reviews work. The principles outlined on the official ClickUp video feedback guide show that even a few well-placed recordings can replace long meetings and unclear chats.
Start with one project, apply the steps in this guide, and iterate on your workflow until video feedback becomes a natural, efficient part of how your team collaborates.
