Open Analytics & Video Shoots

📊 Open Analytics

Open Analytics provides valuable behavioral insights from your participants. It allows you to track self-reported completions and observe user activity within tasks.

• Completion Tracking: A task is officially marked as complete when a participant clicks the “Give Up” button. You can customize this button label to better fit the tone or language of your study (e.g., “Finish Task” or “Move On”).

• Heatmaps: In the Heatmaps section, you can visualize where and when users clicked during a task, helping you understand navigation patterns and interaction hotspots.

🎥 Video Shoots

Enable Video Shoots if you'd like to collect verbal and visual feedback from participants via think-aloud protocols.

This feature allows participants to:

• Share their screen

• Use their microphone

• Enable their camera

These inputs can give you rich, contextual feedback about how users perceive and interact with your experience.

🔐 Permissions & Participant Consent

Since Video Shoots involve access to personal devices, it’s important to handle permissions transparently:

• Permissions are voluntary: Participants must manually grant access to their screen, microphone, and/or camera. These cannot be enforced by the system.

• Notify participants in advance: To avoid confusion or drop-offs, inform participants early in the session that they will be asked to share their screen, microphone, and/or camera.
  You can do this using a Context screen block or a Legal block at the beginning of your study.

Best Practices

• Let participants know why you're requesting access (e.g., “We’d like to hear your thoughts aloud as you complete the task.”)

• Provide clear instructions and allow users to opt out if they're uncomfortable sharing certain inputs.

• Test your setup before launching to ensure permissions prompts work correctly across devices and browsers.
