Do you ask for a content check before posting a public video?

Recording a public video is time-consuming... scripting, filming, editing, and reviewing all take extra effort. The biggest waste happens when you record before verifying the accuracy of your content.

Before hitting record, a quick content check can save hours of rework and help you get it right the first time.

The problem

You’ve been asked to record a public video, and after filming, someone spots inaccurate content, missing context, or off-brand messaging. Now you have to re-record, wasting time and effort.

The solution

Before you hit record, ask for a content check with a Subject Matter Expert (SME) or the TV/Production Team.

Think of it as the “Checked by xxx” rule for your video content.

Steps for a public video recording

1. Prepare yourself
   • Write your talking points, slides, or short script
   • Know the key message you want to deliver
   • If you're sharing something on your screens, do a run through before recording to ensure the UI and workflow is as expected.
2. Get a content check and ask for feedback
   • Send your draft or slides
   • Let the reviewer mark it as Checked by {{ NAME }}

1. (Optional) Perform presentation/video in full over a call or in person
   • Setup a time with them to perform your presentation/video in full over a call or in person. This way, you're getting rapid feedback in a 1 on 1 way. Saving you loads of time later down the line.
2. Apply suggestions
   • Update your outline before filming
   • You’ve passed the content check ✅
3. Record with confidence
   • Hit "Record" and share your wonderful knowledge
