Moderated update: call lobby & in-game audio

Written by PlaytestCloud Team | October 12, 2023 at 3:30 AM

We have introduced two new features for interviews and moderated playtests:

Video call lobby for players

Players now need to be admitted to an interview/live playtest by the interviewer. When a player has joined the lobby, the interviewer will see a banner notification in the video call to admit the player to the interview. All interviewers including those in observer mode can admit a player to the call. Note: If the player has to leave and rejoin for any reason, they will need to be admitted again and will not automatically rejoin the interview.

In-game audio during player screenshare

While the player is sharing their screen, they can now also share their device audio. During the interview/live playtest you can ask the player to turn on this feature after they start screensharing and you will be able to hear the in-game audio alongwith viewing their screen.
