Share a screen during an interview session

Tip: Participants are automatically prompted to share their screen when you share stimuli during a session. For more information, see Share stimuli during an interview session.

Sharing your screen during an interview session can be a great way to get feedback from a participant on a concept or prototype. It can also be helpful to have a participant share their screen with you so you can see exactly what they’re seeing.

Note: Session moderators and participants can share their screens during desktop interview sessions. Only participants can share their screens during mobile interview sessions. (Session observers and guests will be able to see screens as they are shared during a session regardless of device type.)

1

During your session, click the Share screen icon in the bottom right corner. Your browser’s share permissions window is displayed.

2

Follow your browser’s prompts to select a window or screen to share.

Note: If you need to share your system’s audio as well as your screen, be sure to select that when prompted by your browser. When using a Chrome browser, this option appears in the same modal where you’ll select which screen to share.

Now, your selected window or screen is shared with the participant. The screen share will be captured in the session recording so you can review it later during analysis. To stop sharing your screen, click the Share screen icon again or click Stop sharing at the top of the shared window:
