Providing Playtesting Feedback
We appreciate your participation in the playtesting feedback process. Here are a few recommendations on how best to give feedback to app developers.
Record Video Screen Capture
App developers prefer to both hear and see what occurred during your playtesting session. Here are two different ways to enable video screen recordings:
- Hold down the
button - Long press the trigger button
- Short press the
button - Press the movie camera button on the home screen
Both of the options above will initiate a video screen recording.
To allow app developers to hear what you are saying while playtesting their app, enable mic recordings when you initiate video screen recording. You should see a dialog similar to this.
As you proceed through the playtesting experience, be sure to voice your thoughts throughout the playtesting session. Simply talk aloud as you engage with the app content and explain what you are thinking.
Repeat the steps you took to start your recording in order to stop it.
Controller Hot Keys
- Hold down the
button - Long press the trigger button
- Short press the
button - Press the movie camera button
Once you stop your recording, you can submit your feedback by pressing the

button and selecting the
Submit Playtesting Feedback button. This will bring up a dialog that allows you to attach your captured media and optionally provide text-based feedback to better explain the media.
- Keep recordings as focused as possible. Shorter videos or a clear screenshot will better help highlight the feedback you are trying to convey.
- Use text feedback to supplement media. You can use the speech to text on the keyboard to assist with this.
- Text-only feedback is permitted, but should only be used when capturing media is not possible.
