Paid Testers Wanted: Family Video-Calling App for Phones + TVs

We're building Together, an app that lets families see and talk to each other on their TVs, using their phones as the camera and microphone.

We're looking for real Android testers to help improve setup, video quality, sound, and reliability.

Equipment required

You must already have:

- An Android phone.
- A compatible Android TV / Google TV streaming device, such as an NVIDIA SHIELD or an onn. Google TV device.
- A TV connected to that device and working home internet.

Please provide your exact Android phone and streaming-device models before applying. We'll confirm compatibility before hiring. A smart TV alone does not qualify for this test. iPhones, Fire TV, Roku, and Apple TV are not included in this round.

What you'll do

Over a 14-day testing period, you'll:

- Install our test apps on your phone and streaming device.
- Complete setup and pair your phone with your TV.
- Participate in four scheduled video calls with another tester in a separate home.
- Test joining, reconnecting, switching cameras, and rotating the phone.
- Evaluate TV picture size, sound clarity, echo, and conversation delay.
- Retest fixes and provide short, honest feedback.

We can match individual applicants with another tester. Pairs applying from separate households are also welcome.

Diagnostics and feedback

With your permission, the apps automatically upload technical diagnostics so you won't need to collect logs manually. These diagnostics do not record your conversations or video.

We'll still ask you to describe what you heard and saw, particularly echo, missing sound, frozen video, and confusing setup steps.

For all testers

You must remain continuously opted into the Google Play closed test for at least 14 days and actively complete the scheduled testing.

Payment

Payment is a fixed $40 USD for the full assignment, including setup, four approximately 30-minute sessions, and written feedback. You're paid only after the agreed testing is completed, with nothing up front.

Payment is for completing the agreed testing, not positive feedback, app-store reviews, or Google approval.

To apply, send:

1. Your Android phone model and Android version.
2. Your streaming-device model.
3. Your country, time zone, and availability.
4. Your internet connection type.
5. Whether you're applying individually or with someone in another household.
6. Confirmation that you accept the fixed $40 payment on completion.

Please don't purchase equipment for this assignment before we confirm eligibility.
