Joining sessions on the Askable Mobile App

How to join sessions on the Askable participant app

If you've been confirmed for an opportunity that you join via mobile, here's everything you need.

Finding your opportunities

  • My opportunities — anything you've been invited to or scheduled for appears here.

  • Explore — new opportunities you can apply for.

Before you join

  • Update to the latest Askable app.

  • Allow the app camera and microphone access (your phone's Settings > Askable) — required for moderated interviews so the researcher can see and hear you.

  • Find a quiet spot with a stable connection. If using Bluetooth headphones, connect them before the call.

Joining a call

  1. Tap the scheduled opportunity in My opportunities.

  2. Tap Join call.

The researcher needs to start the call before you can join — you'll see "Waiting for call to start" until they do. If they've already started, you'll join straight away.

On the call

The buttons along the bottom (left to right) are: Camera on/off, Mute/unmute, Screen share, Settings, End call.

Sharing your screen on mobile

See Screen sharing in Askable Sessions for the iOS/Android steps (remember to enable Do Not Disturb so notifications aren't recorded).

Which opportunities work on mobile?

Video sessions and AI interviews work well on mobile. Some interactive website tasks are better on a desktop/laptop — if a task won't load on your phone, try a computer. See The Task/Survey won't load.
