A Live Conversation is an exciting opportunity to provide feedback to a UserTesting customer in real-time. On the day of your scheduled Live Conversation, you’ll use your computer to connect to a customer through an online video-conferencing tool called Zoom. The customer may ask you to complete a set of tasks, share your screen, or answer questions.
Since there are extra steps that you need to follow in order to participate in a Live Conversation, these tests pay more than the average test. This article will help familiarize you with the Live Conversation process for desktop computers.

The day of your interview
- Make sure you've downloaded the app on your mobile device.
- Please be ready 15 minutes before your interview. This will give you time to work through any technical issues.
- You'll find a link to join the interview in your reminder email. Tap the Join Interview button on your mobile device to begin your session.
- Since the test is conducted via the ZOOM Cloud Meetings app, it won't appear on your UserTesting mobile dashboard.
- Be prepared to speak in real-time with a customer.
- The test will be recorded.
- The test will upload automatically once your session has finished.
- Please note that it may take some time for your test to upload once you've completed the session, due to the large file size. We ask that you wait 2 hours before emailing in.
Payment
Reward amounts vary depending on the length of the Live Conversation. Check your test feed to see the amount you'll get paid and the duration of the conversation. You should receive your Live Conversation payment via PayPal within 14 days of completing the session.
