What equipment do I need for usability testing?

All you need to participate is a computer that’s capable of connecting to a video meeting. In other words, you’ll need a microphone (either built-in or external) and an internet connection that can support screen sharing (upload speed of at least 2MBps). 

The test will be conducted over Microsoft Teams, which is similar to other video conferencing applications like Zoom and Skype. You don’t need to download or sign up to anything in advance, but if you haven’t used Teams before you may wish to familiarise yourself with the basic functionality. Here’s a short guide on how to connect to a Teams meeting.
