A better way to conduct remote interviews

Doesn't work for me. The language selector seems to change on its own, the right pane never finishes "Loading...", the feedback button opens a blank page.

Also, the start page shows that the right pane is for the camera view of the participants. Why would I want to see the interviewee's face? I want to know how they think, not how they look.

A better use of that space would be a drawing tool, as sometimes it's easier to explain something by making a diagram. Build that and I'll use it.

Not everyone can draw nicely with a mouse, better draw something on a pen and paper and show in the webcam then?

I prefer seeing the interviewer during the interview, don't know why but that's my personal preference.

Indeed seems a bit buggy..

Hmm, but video takes much more bandwidth and having communication problems is the last thing you want during an interview. Also, does this have sound? Would be pretty useless without sound.

I imagine it does, will have to experiment with it later.
