Set Up Conversation Observers

 

This article is relevant to our Live, Flex and Video offerings. For information on our other product offerings, please see this article.

Overview

Conversation Observers can view a Remesh conversation without being able to make edits or moderate. Providing Observer access is a great way to engage stakeholders throughout a Remesh conversation and allow them to assist in brainstorming follow up questions. After following the instructions below, we recommend that you send Observers this document which outlines what they can expect.

    Observer Experience

    Observers will access the conversation via the Observer link. First time Observers will be asked to submit their email, then will receive an email with further instructions. Once they receive that email, they will be asked to create a password for security purposes. If an individual already has a Remesh account, they can log in with that information. From there, they will be able to access the observer space.
    For Video Observers they will be able to see the Pre- and Post-Interview questions in a similar format to above, then they will need to join the Video Interview. As the moderator, you will receive a notification when they join and will need to permit them.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • How many people can observe a conversation?
      There is a maximum of 25 observers and collaborators that can join a conversation at one time. Observers will be able to join the live conversation on a first-come, first-serve basis until the maximum of 25 is reached. If the 25-person cap has been reached and an additional Observer/Collaborator tries to join a live conversation, they will receive a message saying that the conversation is at capacity and they won’t be able to join. After the conversation is over, there is no limit to the number of Observers/Collaborators that can access the session. Read more about Conversation Collaborators here!
    • Can observers join a Flex conversation?
      Yes! Observers can join a Flex conversation and see an overview of responses that have been submitted thus far. They will not be able to analyze using Segments until the Flex has stopped collecting responses.
    • When should I send Observers the link?
      You can send Observers the link at any time. We recommend asking Observers to access the link at least 24 hours ahead of the conversation so they can create their account if needed.
