# Submitting an Endorsement

> A guide for supporters on how to record and submit a video, voice, or text endorsement.

## You've been invited to share your voice

Someone you support has asked you to record an endorsement. This guide walks you through what to expect.

<Info>You do **not** need to create an account or download an app. Everything happens in your browser.</Info>

## What you'll see

When you open the campaign link, you'll see:

1. The campaign's logo and welcome message
2. Talking points or questions to help you think about what to say
3. Buttons to record a **video**, **voice message**, or write a **text** endorsement

## Recording a video

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tap the Video button">
    Your browser will ask permission to use your camera and microphone. Tap **Allow**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Record your endorsement">
    Look at the camera and speak naturally. Use the talking points as inspiration — you don't have to follow them exactly. A timer shows how much recording time you have.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview and submit">
    After recording, you can watch it back. If you're happy with it, fill in any requested contact info and tap **Submit**. If not, re-record.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>Find a quiet spot with good lighting. Natural light facing you works best. Keep it conversational — the most powerful endorsements feel authentic, not rehearsed.</Tip>

## Recording a voice message

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tap the Voice button">
    Your browser will ask permission to use your microphone. Tap **Allow**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Record your message">
    Speak clearly and naturally. The same talking points are available to guide you.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview and submit">
    Listen back, then fill in any contact info and tap **Submit**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Writing a text endorsement

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tap the Text button">
    A text form opens where you can type your endorsement.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write your message">
    Share why you support this person or cause in your own words.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit">
    Fill in any requested contact info and tap **Submit**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You'll see a confirmation screen. Your endorsement will be reviewed by the campaign team. If approved, it may appear in a public showcase on their website.
