These interviews can involve questions about your habits and preferences or the usability of a website/app while you share your screen.

Requirements
To participate in interviews, you will need:
- A desktop or laptop computer with a webcam and microphone that can handle video calls. Please don't use a mobile phone or tablet to join the call.
- A strong and stable internet connection for video calls.
- Google Chrome is the only officially supported web browser for Engage interviews.
What to expect during the interview
Share your thoughts, be honest, and think out loud. Don't be afraid. This isn't a test, just a friendly discussion!
Depending on the project, the moderator might ask you to share your screen while interacting with their product (website, app, etc.).
Check the project description in your original invitation for any specific details about the interview.
Arriving for the interview
Make sure you arrive on time and that you are in a calm, quiet environment free from distractions.
If you can't attend, you can Reschedule or Cancel your session from the email notification you received when booking, or by accessing the research project in your Engage Dashboard. Avoid canceling a session at the last minute and provide researchers with enough notice time about the change in schedule.
Your location, employment status, and various other things might have changed since you signed up. In order to match better on projects, make sure that you keep your participant profile up to date.
