The Request Submit Button: Why Your Recording Disappears Without It
Skipping the Submit button after recording means your content never reaches the account team. This short walkthrough shows the complete request flow from start to confirmation.
Transcript
Hello. So I'm gonna talk about the request submit button, how important it is to click on that, and your recording disappears without it. So let's go in. Top in. So we are in here, and we're gonna do a quick test. I'm gonna copy link and then open it up here. And you can see this is a quick test. I'm gonna say start request, and then I'm gonna do a record a video and answering the question. We're gonna go ahead and start, and we'll start recording. Hello. One two three. And then stop. And as you could see, it loads, and it's a hundred percent. And then do not exit the page. You would go to submit. And, if it asks you to leave, you go ahead and click leave, and then that'll say, thanks for completing the request. Get to this page, we know that you have submitted content to the account. So just wanted to make sure you see that.
Overview
In this 52-second training, David Dabney walks through the complete request submission flow on the MarketScale platform. He demonstrates how to open a request link, record content, wait for the 100% upload indicator, and — most critically — click the Submit button to confirm delivery. The video ends on the confirmation screen so creators have a clear visual signal that their recording has successfully landed.
What Is This?
Submitting a recording on MarketScale means actively clicking the Submit button after upload reaches 100%, which is the required final step that transmits your content to the requesting account team.
What You'll Learn
- Open a request link sent by your account team
- Record your response directly within the platform
- Recognize the 100% upload progress indicator before proceeding
- Locate and click the Submit button to confirm delivery
- Identify the confirmation screen that verifies successful submission
- Avoid the most common mistake new creators make during their first request
Key Insights
- The Submit button is a required action — upload completion alone does not deliver your recording to the account team
- A 100% upload indicator signals that your file is ready, but submission is still a separate, deliberate step
- The confirmation screen is the only reliable signal that your content has successfully reached its destination
- New creators most frequently lose recordings by closing the page after upload without clicking Submit
Deep Dive
One of the most common friction points for new MarketScale contributors is the assumption that finishing a recording is the same as delivering it. It is not. The platform separates the upload process from the submission process deliberately, and understanding that distinction prevents lost content and missed deadlines.
When you open a request link, you are entering a structured workflow that has a defined beginning and end. Recording your response is the beginning. Watching the upload progress bar reach 100% confirms your file has transferred successfully to the platform. But that progress indicator reflects a technical state — it does not confirm delivery to the account team requesting your content.
The Submit button is the action that closes the loop. Clicking it sends a confirmed signal to the platform that your recording is intentional, complete, and ready for the team to access. Without that click, the system treats the session as incomplete regardless of how polished the recording itself may be. Contributors who close the browser tab after the upload bar hits 100% — without submitting — will find that their recording does not appear on the account side.
The confirmation screen that follows a successful submission is worth paying attention to. It is not decorative. It is the platform's way of telling you that the handoff is done. If you do not see that screen, return to the request link and complete the process. Building the habit of waiting for the confirmation screen on every submission is the simplest way to ensure your content always reaches its destination.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I close the browser before clicking Submit?
If you close the browser after the upload reaches 100% but before clicking Submit, your recording will not be delivered to the account team. The platform requires the Submit action to register the recording as complete and intentional. You would need to re-open the request link and re-record your response.
How do I know my recording was successfully submitted?
After clicking Submit, the platform displays a confirmation screen that verifies your content has been received. This screen is the definitive signal that delivery was successful. If you do not see the confirmation screen, do not assume the submission went through.
Is the 100% upload indicator the same as submission confirmation?
No. The 100% upload indicator means your video file has finished transferring to the platform's servers, but it does not mean the recording has been delivered to the requesting account team. Submission is a separate step that requires you to actively click the Submit button after the upload completes.
Related Topics
After mastering the request submission flow, creators should explore how to navigate request links sent from account teams and understand the different request types available on the platform. Familiarity with recording best practices — including lighting, audio setup, and framing — will also ensure the content you submit meets production standards. Both topics are covered in the Platform Basics and 101 training category.
