down menu.

About in the left navigation bar.

browser via the Relaunch button if Chrome
needs an update.

browser is probably up to date!

Frequently Asked Questions
QUESTION 1: Do I have to enable my
computer’s camera and microphone to yellodemo

record my video responses?

ANSWER 1: Yes. A pop-up window will

appear once you begin to record your
responses.

Instead of manually doing this yourself in your System Preferences, we made life a little
bit easier on your end. Just click Allow to proceed.

QUESTION 2: Why can’t I review my answers? What happens if I get a message that
says, Error Loading Media: File could not be played?

ANSWER 2: If this happens, there was an error with

our software capturing the data. This is typically a
result of insufficient access permissions. Make sure
you click Allow when prompted!

QUESTION 3: What else can I do to ensure the smoothest user experience possible?

ANSWER 3: Here are a few best practices to optimize your recorded video responses:

• Update camera and microphone drivers.

• Disable firewalls that target chat applications (if you cannot connect to Wi-Fi).
• Enable your cookies.
• Use a third-party service, like Skype or FaceTime, to ensure your audio and video
capabilities are fully functional.

If you have the time, it’s best to make sure your hardware and software are both up to
date and functioning properly. These little things can make a big difference in how your
video responses turn out!

QUESTION 4: Am I required to review my answers before I proceed to the next

question?

Answer 4: No. While it’s not technically necessary to progress to the next question, we
strongly recommend you review your answer before moving on. You have 3 tries after
all, so you may as well take your time and ensure your responses are well polished!
