Interview with gameplay: What do I need to do?

So, you’ve been selected for an interview with gameplay - that’s great!

This interview includes a live playtest element, which means that you'll be playing a game while a game developer or games-user researcher watches. This is done via screen sharing in our app, which the interviewer will guide you through setting up. They'll then be able to ask you about your gameplay!

As you will need to have the PlaytestCloud app and the game downloaded and ready on your device before you join, it’s best to ensure that you have that set up nice and early. It's your responsibility to ensure that you are ready to go, reporting any issues to us at help@playtestcloud.com.

How to set up

  • Download the latest version of the app from the download link in the email;
  • Have headphones ready to use;
  • As always, prepare or find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed;
  • Remember to turn on the Do Not Disturb function on your device;
  • Ensure you have plenty of space free on your device, and download the game ahead of time; and
  • Join the interview 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled time. 

Important: Do not play the game until the interviewer has asked you to.

​You'll then be ready to take part! If you're preparing for your first interview, you may like to check out our videos about interviews and interviews with gameplay!

Can't make a scheduled interview?

If you at any point realize that you're not able to attend the interview, please let us know as soon as possible using the "Can't make it?" link in the invite email. 

Cancellations

Cancellations for interviews can occur, so please check your emails regularly in the lead up to a scheduled interview. If the interviewer cancels within a few hours of the scheduled session then you will receive some of the reward amount.

Be careful: Your time slot will be cancelled if you become unsubscribed from our automated emails. This is because our system won't be able to provide any updates.

If you have any other questions about this or being a playtester, please get in touch with our Community team at help@playtestcloud.com
