Moderated User Testing Overview

About Moderated User Testing

Moderated User Testing allows you to conduct user experience research through remote live moderated sessions with respondents. In a Moderated User Testing project, moderators set up interview details and add their availability, then distribute the study to participants. Participants can select their preferred interview times and provide contact details.

Both moderators and participants will then receive a Zoom link for the scheduled interview, during which participants can share their screen and provide live feedback on whatever you are testing. Interviews are recorded and stored within the Audio & Video library, where they can be analyzed.
