# Study settings

> Every study-level setting, tab by tab

Study settings live in the settings panel on the study page, organized into tabs: **General**, **Sharing**, **AI Interviewer**, **Branding**, **Languages**, and **Notifications**. This page covers everything except the [AI Interviewer](/studies/ai-interviewer) and [Languages](/studies/languages) tabs, which have their own pages.

| Study name          | The internal title of your study.                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| Interview engine    | **Regular AI** (1 credit per completion), **Realtime AI** (Beta, 2 credits), or **Survey** (no AI questions; uses discounted survey credits). You can't switch to Survey while the study still contains conversational questions (AI Question or Exploratory). |
| Conversation mode   | Text only, Text and voice, Voice with preview, or Video (Regular engine); Text only or Voice to voice (Realtime engine).                                                                                                                                       |
| Silence threshold   | Voice-to-voice only: how long the AI waits after the participant stops speaking (0.5–5 s, default 1.5 s).                                                                                                                                                      |
| Require device      | Any device, Desktop only, or Mobile only.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| Record user screens | Desktop only. Choose **Browser tab** or **Full screen** recording permissions.                                                                                                                                                                                 |

### Advanced settings

| Setting                        | Description                                                                                                   |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Show voice tooltip             | Prompt participants that they can answer by voice (non-voice modes).                                          |
| Allow copy and paste           | Off by default — keeping it off deters low-effort or AI-generated text answers.                               |
| Beta transcription models      | Use the newest transcription models first.                                                                    |
| Customize support email        | Replace the default support contact shown to participants.                                                    |
| Show estimated completion time | Display the expected length of the study on the welcome screen.                                               |
| Project ID                     | Read-only study identifier — used with the [API](/api-reference/introduction) and [Embed SDK](/sdk/overview). |

## Sharing & participants

| Setting           | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

| Quota             | Cap the number of completions. When the quota is reached, new participants are sent to your pause URL.                                                                                                                  |
| Custom pause URL  | Where participants land when the study is paused or full. Supports `{param}` placeholders from URL parameters, including a placeholder as the full URL base. The resolved destination must use `http://` or `https://`. |
| Unique identifier | The URL parameter name you use to identify participants (e.g. `uid`). Enables per-participant tracking and cross-device resume. Share links as `…/s/{studyId}?uid=12345`.                                               |

## Branding

## Study messages

Three fixed messages frame every study. Each is fully editable and translated along with your questions:

* **Welcome message** — title, body, and call-to-action button text shown before the study starts.
* **Thank-you message** — title, body, and an optional CTA link shown on completion.
* **Screen-out message** — what disqualified participants see, with an optional CTA link.

## Notifications

Get notified when an interview completes:

* **Email** — send to one or more addresses.
* **Slack** — post to a channel via an incoming webhook URL.
* **Webhooks** — call your own endpoint, for custom workflows.

## Access policy

Each study has an access policy that sets the default level of access for organization members: **Full access**, **Can edit**, **Can view**, or **Invite only**. Combine with per-user [study roles](/platform/folders-and-permissions) for finer control.
