# Technical requirements for Dscout Live

Your computer must have a few things for Dscout Live Desktop to work properly. This includes:

1. **Working speakers (or headphones you can use), camera, and microphone.** If you don’t have a built-in camera or microphone, external ones will work just fine.
2. **Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge web browser.** You'll need to install and use Chrome or Edge as your browser during your [Live pre-test](/interview-studies/live-technical-requirements/live-pre-test-scout-overview-troubleshooting.md) and session.
3. **A strong internet connection.** During your Live pre-test, you'll be asked to test your internet connection. If the indicator turns yellow or red, consider moving closer to your WiFi router or connecting to your internet via ethernet cable.

For Live Mobile requirements, check out [this article](/interview-studies/participate-in-live-missions/live-mobile-participation-guidelines-walkthrough.md).

If you run into any issues with these steps, reach out to our Support team [here](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) for assistance.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://participanthelp.dscout.com/interview-studies/live-technical-requirements/technical-requirements-for-dscout-live.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
