Common Questions

Everything you need to know about sharing your Minute.

What is Me in a Minute?

Me in a Minute is a personal evangelism tool designed to take the awkwardness out of sharing your faith. Instead of struggling to find the right words in a brief encounter, you simply share a card with your unique QR code link.

When someone scans your card, they are taken to your personalized 1-minute video. It’s a powerful way to let people hear your story of what Jesus has done for you, followed immediately by a professional gospel presentation to help them learn more.

Does the video have to be 1-minute?

Not exactly but more or less. If you go 10-15 seconds over or under that's no big deal but at 30 seconds it is getting out of the goal of this site. The 1-minute rule is intended to allow your visitors to know that is all they are committed for and we'd like to keep that theme going.

A minute usually amounts to 125-150 words in your script so take some time and work out your script and have other's help (See the Contact page for our help), aim to refine your story down to the most important points that tell your visitor who you are and what God has done for you!

What should my video be about?

YOU! Don't try to make some fancy video filled with spiritual words, make a video that is about you and is you! People who don't know God don't want to be preached at, but they do want to know your story. Tell them in your words who you are and what Jesus means to you! Feel free to browse existing minutes for ideas!

We will review your video not to make sure it meets some super high standard but simply to ensure it fits the 1-minute them of this site, check for technical issues, and to weed out any inappropriate material that may try to make it's way in.

How do I film my own video?

We recommend you first come up with a script of 125-150 words. Think through what events in your life (Bad and Good) built you, don't leave out the bad, this isn't about perfection, this is about those who are lost (all of us) finding ourselves in God! Whatever your situation there is someone else out there going through the same and your story could be what guides them to God!

Once you have your script it is a good idea to give it to someone who knows you to look over and maybe an elder or pastor at your church, then can help filter it down to the most important points seeing it from the outside.

Finally it is time to film! Use whatever recording device you have available, cellphones these days are excellent, and film in MP4 format! It is recommended you set the phone on a stand to keep the video still and also that you use a teleprompter app for your script so you don't have to memorize it. If you mess up just start over, it's only 1 minute so take as many takes as you need!

When your video is complete and to your liking upload it on your story page and once it is reviewed it will be live and you'll have a link and QR Code to share immediately and can get business cards to pass out to people in your day-to-day!

How do I create my own Minute?

Getting started is easy! Simply register for an account and you’ll be directed to your personal dashboard. We recommend writing a script beforehand to keep your story concise (aim for exactly 60 seconds).

Once you upload your MP4 video, it enters our Review Stage. A member of our team will watch it to ensure it meets our community guidelines. Once approved, your page goes live instantly!

What are some Teleprompter apps I can use?

Using a teleprompter app on your phone or tablet is a great way to maintain eye contact with the camera while following your script. Here are a few popular options:

  • Teleprompter for Video (iOS/Android): Great for recording directly within the app.
  • PromptSmart: Uses voice-tracking to follow your speech automatically.
  • Nano Teleprompter: A simple, floating widget for Android users.
How do I get business cards with my QR Code?

Once your video is approved, your dashboard will generate a high-resolution QR code unique to your profile. You have two easy options:

  • Print at Home: Download your QR code and use our provided Avery-compatible template to print cards yourself.
  • Professional Order: We can print and mail your cards too you! Instructions on how do this are accessed via the "Order Cards" link on your story page.
Can I add a unique Gospel Presentation for my church and it's members?

Yes! We love partnering with local churches. Soon, you will be able to select your church from our database. If your church isn't listed, you can request it be added.

Optionally you can submit a custom Gospel presentation that will play immediately after their members' individual stories, ensuring seekers are connected directly to your local body of believers.

How do I edit or deactivate my video?

Simply log in and navigate to your profile page. From there, you can update your bio, deactivate your page to make it private, or upload a replacement video.

Note: Replacement videos will go through the review process again before replacing your current live video.
