Managing the video channel Survey section

Hub users can create surveys that will appear to attendees when they watch videos. The survey applies to all of the channel's content and will be prompted during or after attendees watch any video, appearing only once. Surveys are valuable tools to obtain feedback that hosts can use to gather information and receive suggestions on how to improve their future channels.
