Embedding a Qualtrics Survey into a UICapture Video and Collecting Data

This page has two sections of instructions.  The first set  of instructions explains how to take the distribution link from a Qualtrics survey, and place it into a specific time in a UICapture video.  The second set of instructions explains how to customize the link, if you were to place the same survey in multiple UICapture videos, and would want to trace which responses to the survey came from which videos.
