ABSTRACT
Capturing contextual data about online media consumption in the home can be difficult, often requiring site visits and hardware installation in the field. In this paper, we present an exploratory study in which we use free, open-source broadcasting software and participants' existing computer hardware to capture remote, contextual video data inside the home. This method allows participants to simultaneously capture live recordings across multiple computer screens-as well as themselves and their home viewing environment-while watching long-form online video. We discuss the affordances and challenges of this method for researchers seeking to capture contextual data remotely.
