A Zoom interview is a video-based qualitative research method in which a trained moderator conducts a live, structured or semi-structured conversation with participants over a video conferencing platform. Within qualitative research, Zoom interviews have become a standard approach for depth interviews and focus groups, offering the nonverbal richness of face-to-face interaction without the logistical cost of in-person fieldwork. Researchers value them for capturing tone, hesitation, and facial expression alongside verbal responses. However, traditional Zoom interviews require moderator availability, scheduling coordination, and manual analysis, which limits how many sessions a team can realistically run within a given research cycle.
