Campaign group Just Equal says the new Stand With Me video project will allow everyday Australians to go on the record with their views on same-sex marriage as survey responses are returned ahead of the November 15 results announcement.
Participants can upload a video message of support for changes to Australia's marriage laws to a new website.
Responses will be shared on a range of social media platforms.
Spokesman Ivan Hinton-Teoh, who married his partner in Canberra when same-sex marriage was briefly legal in the ACT in 2013, said the project was a creative and constructive way for anyone to participate in the campaign.
"The two most important things right now are community and communication. Both will save lives and help win the 'yes' vote."
The project comes as campaigners for and against same-sex marriage rally their supporters.
In Sydney on Saturday, leading 'no' organising group the Coalition for Marriage will hold its national launch event, which will include speeches on how changing marriage laws could impact other aspects of Australian society.
Grassroots campaigners in Canberra will start doorknocking efforts on Saturday, and couples hoping to marry have been writing letters to their neighbours.
Phone banking by 'yes' campaigners continued this week and Canberrans used social media to post images of their survey response forms.
