# How to Use Templates
> Learn how to create and use Sendspark video templates to pre-write headers, messages, and CTAs for faster video sending.
Sendspark templates let you pre-write your header, message, and call-to-action content so you can send videos faster instead of retyping the same copy. Create templates in the Sendspark Templates library, then apply one when recording by clicking **Select Template** in the Chrome extension preview modal. Your video share page is pre-filled automatically.
## Key takeaways
* Templates pre-write the **header**, **message**, and **call-to-action** so you don't paste the same content below every video.
* Create and manage templates in your [Sendspark Templates library](https://sendspark.com/templates); suggested text is available if you're not sure what to say.
* Apply a template by clicking **Select Template** in the Sendspark Chrome extension preview modal when you record.
* Templates are shared across your whole workspace, so name workspace-specific ones clearly (for example, "My Calendar - Autumn").
