Participants from the Participant Pool undergo a vetting process conducted by Prolific, which includes a questionnaire where they are asked about their willingness to share their screen, voice, and record themselves. Prolific provides specific attributes related to these capabilities, which participants can choose to enable or disable based on their personal comfort levels and preferences.
It is important to clearly include this information about the requirements in the study description beforehand. By stating expectations regarding screen sharing, voice sharing, and recording upfront, the likelihood of participants enabling these attributes when participating in the study increases. Providing this information helps set clear expectations and encourages participants who are comfortable with these requirements to join the study.
Introducing Mandatory Video Shoots
In addition to the optional settings, Useberry now offers the ability to make Video Shoots mandatory. When this feature is enabled, participants must grant system permissions for their camera, microphone, and screen recording. If participants decline or skip granting these permissions, they will be automatically redirected to a non-eligible page, preventing them from continuing with the study.
This mandatory setting ensures that only participants who successfully grant the necessary access can proceed. This guarantees data quality and ensures compliance with the study’s requirements, giving researchers control over the data they collect.
Enhancing Participation and Data Collection
By following these guidelines and clearly communicating the requirements in your study description, you can increase the number of participants willing to enable screen sharing, voice sharing, and recording. Offering participants the choice to opt in or making certain features mandatory ensures that the right participants join your study, enabling a more accurate and efficient research process.
When you use the mandatory Video Shoots feature, you can confidently ensure you are collecting the data you need without issues, as it requires participants to meet the study's precise requirements for camera, audio, and screen sharing.
