How do I become a playtester?

Not much of a reader? Check out our 'Getting Started' video!

If you'd like to become a playtester, the first thing you should do is head over to our sign up page here. You'll complete the short, unpaid Playtester Onboarding which will review you and your device. After that you'll be able to playtest! 

For app setup tutorials and example playtest videos, check out our YouTube playlist

Ensure that you follow all instructions and advice, and take note of any instructional videos. If you do that then you should have no problem with completing the Onboarding!

What is the Onboarding?

This is used to determine your eligibility in joining the PlaytestCloud tester panel. We want to check you and how well you provide commentary, as well as your device's capabilities of using our recording software. When you become a part of the tester panel, you can start receiving the real playtests that you get paid for. 

How often will I get playtests?

Playtesters will normally receive playtests based on their location, so this is a large factor in how often you can receive them. Because of that, it’s tough to predict when you’ll get a new playtest invitation. Just keep in mind that this is not a full-time job but more of a fun way to make some money on the side.

For info about how to fill out your profile, see our video! We've also put together another video explaining how we select testers for playtests!

Please remember: You'll need to have access to the email address you used to sign up to PlaytestCloud. The only way that we can verify an account ownership is if you contact us from that email address. If you ever lose the access to that email, we won't be able to help you further.


Not sure what to talk about? Don't worry! We've made some example Playtester Onboarding and playtest videos just for you here. You can use them as inspiration for your participations!
