Live interviews are a fast and easy way to learn how users feel about a specific topic and gain confidence in your design decisions.
Live interviews are different from usability tests, as interview insights are self-reported by the interviewee and they aren't typically interacting with a design. Pair them with behavioral based research, such as a usability test, to gain the complete picture.
Be sure to set a goal for the interview and pre-write questions you know you want to ask. It also helps to anticipate potential answers and to have follow-up questions that relate back to your research goal.
