Updated over 2 weeks ago

Askable Sessions Demo

⚠️ This is an unsupported experimental usage of Askable Sessions. User discretion is advised.

If you're just looking to test what the call functionality is like, is to continue testing on sessions.askable.com and choosing "new call".

If you're testing observer and participant links, we highly recommend using a private/incognito tab. Here's a step by step instructions to help based on role types.


Starting the call

Facilitator:

  1. Have a Client account with Askable

  2. Go to sessions.askable.com and sign in

  3. Start "new call" using button on page

  4. Use (i) icon on bottom right to find session links for observers and participants.

  5. Send those respective links directly to whoever else you want to test this with on a message platform of your choice.

  6. If you choose to record the session, please save the room url as you'll need this later.

Observer:

  1. <important!> use in an incognito/private tab

    • This prevents cache issues if you have a Client account

  2. Receive direct observer link from Facilitator for observers to watch the session

  3. Add name and click join. Wait in lobby to be let in by the facilitator.

  4. Get accepted into session by Facilitator

    • You'll have your mic and camera forced to be off

    • You can leave notes for the facilitator

    • There are unlimited observer spots

Participant:

  1. <important!> use a participant account

    • it won't work without this

  2. Receive direct participant link from Facilitator to join the session

  3. Get accepted into session by Facilitator

    • you can write messages to the Facilitator


Retrieving the session recording

  1. Reach out to Askable Live Chat and send the URL of each session you saved earlier.

  2. Live Chat will generate a shortlink of the session recording for you.
