Great question, with a simple answer! We display the local time that the player engaged with your game in the playtest video. 

We always approach every playtest result with the goal in mind to explain to you the entire picture of how a player engages with your game. That is why we have players talk aloud and record their touches, this way you can get an idea of how they perceive your game.

We also allow you to see the date and time that the video was recorded so you can gain integral data on what times players interact with your game, at what point do they take a break, and for how long? 

How to view the players local time

There are a few options available to view the local time that the player engaged with your game in the playtest video.

Video is paused:

Hover over the top timeline and the duration of the video up until that point in minutes, session number, and the players local time when engaging with the game are displayed in a gray box at the top right of the video itself.

Video is playing:

Hover over the top timeline and the duration of the video up until that point in minutes and the players local time when engaging with the game are displayed in a black box above the video preview which is located in the bottom left corner of the video window.

Using the audio timeline:

The final way to see the players local time is to hover over the audio timeline and the session number, players local time at the start of the session, and the length of the session in minutes will be displayed in a white box above the audio timeline.
