I began my research pre-COVID19. I was going to collect my data via focus groups, but lockdown restrictions were enforced and it could not happen. Online was not an option due to connectivity issues for some participants. So I had to revert to phone interviews. I did not have a dictaphone so had to resort to recording using my laptop and put participants on speakerphone.

I encountered one difficulty where the laptop only recorded for 15 mins. I can't seem to find any other studies that I used this method and just wondered if anyone else has used this or found studies that have used it. It's pretty old school but the best option considering the circumstances I was in :)
