Well, just listen to them telling you to go a little up or down with the
camera. I even watched a judo match with a volonteer who doesn't know anything
about judo. She was describing it so vividly, without using any judo
terminology, that I got it 100 per cent!
So yes, you should still make some effort to follow their instructions.
As per games, it would probably do. You first ask kindly if the volonteer would
have the time you need for that, and then if not, you should understand them as
everyone goes about their own lives. If yes, go ahead.
Best,
Miloš

To be fair. I think the "they" is a bit generalizing. It's a service upheld
by thousands of volunteers all over the world. There will definitely be ones
that are not patient or down right rude from time to time, but that is true to
any organization that relies chiefly on volunteers that aren't monitored during
calls.
On the topic of game menu reading. My suggestion is to try it. If one
volunteer says no, try another time, if another one says no, try one more time,
if you get no 3 times, then it's probably a no-go.
All it'll take is you run into a volunteer who's also a gamer, and it'd be
an instant yes.

Doubtful. They get mad at anyone who can’t point the camera. I speak from
experience
