VoiceThread Docs / Web Application / Commenting / Direct reply to a comment

New VT

If you are the owner or editor of a VoiceThread, you can insert a comment directly after someone else’s even if threaded commenting is not enabled. This allows you to help guide the conversation and give feedback directly if you don’t want threaded commenting enabled in general.

To do this, click on the reply icon inside a person’s comment window.

This will expand the comment menu with a “Reply” label so you know you are replying to someone. Select the commenting option you want to use and record your comment normally.

After you have saved your comment it will appear in the conversation just after the comment of the person you replied to. Since threaded commenting is not enabled, this will look like a regular square comment.


Legacy VT

If you are the owner or editor of a VoiceThread, you are able to insert a comment directly after someone else’s comment on your slide.  This allows you to help guide the conversation and give feedback directly to your participants.  To do this, click on the direct reply icon inside a person’s comment window.

You’ll then see your own Identity image appear as a preview in the conversation channel so you can see where the comment will be inserted, and you’ll see the name of the person to whom you are replying in the comment fan at the bottom of the VoiceThread. Select the option you want to use, and then record your comment normally.

After you have saved your comment, you’ll see that new comment appear in the conversation channel in the correct location.
