| Opplysninger | Our research was funded to explore police and court responses to domestic abuse during COVID-19. This context meant that we had to work rapidly, and this influenced our choice of research method. We chose to conduct video interviews on the basis that these were similar to interviews that we had experience in, so we aimed to take this knowledge and adapt our interviews to a remote setting. We were learning to use video platforms at the same time as many other people in the United Kingdom and worldwide-the issues we experienced are, therefore, set in a broader context. We found that remote interviews worked well for our project (interviewing senior police about their work), but we would be cautious about recommending them for more vulnerable participants. Remote interviews enable a researcher to access people and places that would not normally be possible, but this must be balanced against over-filling a diary, leading to "zoom fatigue" and reduced flexibility. Remote interviews meant that we could conduct our interviews as a team, which brings benefits in terms of the rapidity of research but requires learning how to "read" the interview and accept silences. There are other tensions inherent in rapid research, for example, between speed and quality, when producing transcripts of interviews. This case study explores how to conduct team video interviews as part of robust rapid research, to produce timely and practical recommendations.
