In many studies, it is important to see the participant’s reactions, record the conversation between
the test leader and test participant, as well as the test participant’s feedback when using a think-
aloud protocol. This setup option makes it possible to use the built-in user camera and connect a
microphone to record the participant’s image and sound.
