We assume, no matter how you use it, that you have your own valid reasons for how you do it.

Most people also indicate their skill levels and their interests. By collecting this information up front, we are able to contact the people for whom the interview or testing is most likely relevant. This method of contact also keeps to a minimum communications that aren’t interesting to most people. For example, if we simply posted our messages on wiki or Telegram, all the experts would receive our call for beginners (and vice versa).

We want to hear from users with a wide range of experience, and beginners are as welcome as experts. We have actually had a shortage of users with less experience to reach out to! </p><p>Hardware and software: the interviews typically require the participant to enable their microphone and camera as well as share their screen, so the researcher can see what actions they perform. Turning on the camera is not mandatory but screen sharing may be. We typically employ commonly used services and software (Jitsi, Google Meet, etc.) A desktop computer is preferable, but some interviews will work on a smartphone. Most of the time, the most important things are good audio and a stable internet connection. If you register for an interview, we will discuss the tools with you beforehand to find the best possible solution. </p><p>Feel free to inform us of your <b>preferred language</b> when you reach out to us. As much as possible, the UX researchers try to use the participant’s native language for the interview. Wikimedia Germany’s UX team can usually conduct interviews in English and German; other languages are also possible, depending on the availability of the researchers.
