Can I choose whether people take part on a phone or a laptop?
Last updated 12 November 2026
In Study details, Where people take part sets the device: Phone, Laptop or desktop, or Either. For Phone you can also pick which phones: iPhone, Android or both.
Only people whose profile lists that device see your study and can apply. When they join the call we check the device again, and anyone on the wrong one is shown how to move to the right one: a code to scan with their phone, or a link sent to their email or WhatsApp.
Task tests, quick tests and live product tests record the participant’s screen, which phones can’t do in a browser yet, so they are always taken on a laptop or desktop computer. Phone testing is coming.
