Watch a quick intro video

This video shares a few tips on how to prepare for your test and explains what to expect.

Complete a microphone check

You’ll think out loud during your test, so the microphone check ensures we can hear you clearly.

On Android devices, you may need to give the UserTesting app permission to record your audio and device screen before you can test your microphone.

Learn to use the task button

During the test, you'll use the task button to view and hide the instructions as you go.

Share your screen and enable your microphone

We’ll need to hear you and see what’s happening on your screen during the test. This all gets uploaded as a recording that our team manually reviews to verify that you're comfortable thinking out loud while performing tasks.

These setup steps might look a bit different on an Android device. Just remember to share both your screen and your audio. On iOS, wait for the countdown to finish and tap anywhere on the screen to close the broadcast options.

Speak your thoughts out loud

As you complete each task, read the instructions out loud and say what you’re doing, why you're doing it, and what you're thinking.

Remember to use the task button to review the instructions and move on to your next task.

Submit your test for review

After completing all the tasks, it’s time to upload your test! Our team will manually review it, and we’ll send you an email with the results.
