Screen recording

(screen recording task with think-aloud prompt)
Overview
Screen recording tasks give you first-hand insight into real digital behaviour. Participants capture their screen and voice in real time as they navigate a website, app, or digital experience on their own device. The result is a genuine record of how users actually behave, without the artificiality of a lab setting or the distortion of a moderated session. Every recording is automatically transcribed, translated, and summarised by incAI. The show reel creator assembles the most telling clips automatically.

Use cases
Ideal for
Screen recording works best when you need evidence of behaviour rather than self-reported descriptions of it, at scale and without the scheduling overhead of moderated sessions.
User experience testing
Observe how participants navigate a website, app, or digital service in their natural environment. See where they click, where they hesitate, and where they get lost, with verbal commentary explaining the reasoning behind each decision.
Customer experience and purchase journey research
Ask participants to complete a defined journey, such as a product purchase or subscription sign-up, and share their thoughts aloud as they go. This reveals the emotional highs and friction points that structured interviews rarely surface.
Booking and conversion funnel analysis
Identify exactly where participants drop out of a booking or purchase funnel and understand the reasons behind abandonment. Pair with diary tasks to capture behaviour before, during, and after a key conversion moment.
Search and discovery behaviour
Ask participants to search for and research a product, service, or topic as they naturally would. This reveals how your brand appears in the early stages of the purchase journey relative to competitors, and how search results and content influence consideration.
App onboarding and new feature evaluation
Ask participants to try a new feature or complete an onboarding flow for the first time and record their experience. First-use reactions capture confusion and delight that disappears once familiarity sets in.
Competitor benchmarking
Ask participants to complete the same task on your platform and on a competitor's, recording both experiences. The side-by-side comparison generates immediate, evidence-based insight into where your experience leads and where it falls behind.
