Which monitor do I select?

- All you need to do is select the screen you’d like to record by scrolling down the options you see here.
- After finding the one you want to record just tap ‘Share.’
There’s an upload issue. What should I do?
- Reach out to the Support team and we can investigate why this happened.
- Currently, there is no way to restart an upload.
I’m running into some weird behavior. What should I do?
- Restart the Google Chrome browser.
- Uninstall and reinstall the UserTesting Browser Recorder. You can reinstall it here.

- If that doesn’t resolve it what you can do to help us is provide screenshots of what you’re seeing and reproducible steps.

- Unless you want to quit your test, do not click this button.

Best Practices
• When you’re ready to begin the study, make sure you’re in a quiet place.
• If you’re completing your session on a laptop, make sure you have a mic plugged into your device. A mic must be plugged in to start the study, to ensure that the recording is clear and audible. (You will receive an error message if a mic is not detected.)
• Disable anything that might disrupt the recording process, including ad blockers, corporate firewalls or anti-virus software.
• It’s a good idea to exit out of any other app or program you may have running in the background before beginning.
• Make sure your browser is not in full screen mode.
• Close down any tabs or background materials that you do not want recorded
• As a reminder, make sure you have a mic connected to your laptop following download, before you open the recorder.
• If you run into issues with the installation process, refresh your browser or shut down and then reopen the browser. If this doesn’t work, try to uninstall and reinstall the recorder.
