Platforms
Works with Zoom, Meet, Teams — because it integrates with none of them.
URHIRED AI is a desktop overlay, not a plugin or a browser extension. There is nothing to install into your meeting app. Zoom needs one capture-mode setting; every other platform uses the same setup.
Audio comes from your system
Whatever app plays the interviewer's voice, the transcriber hears it through your system output. No per-platform setup.
Share a window or a screen
The one setting that matters everywhere: pick a window or your whole screen rather than a browser tab.
Test it once per app
Thirty seconds in a call with yourself tells you exactly what the interviewer will see.
The one that needs a setting
Zoom meeting setup
Zoom is where most technical interviews happen. URHIRED AI runs as a separate desktop overlay, so there is no Zoom app, plugin, or integration involved — and nothing for Zoom to report.
Audio
Zoom plays the interviewer through your system output, which is what the transcriber listens to. Keep the capture mode on System.
Screen sharing
Zoom offers three share modes: entire screen, a specific window, and a browser tab. Pick entire screen or a window. Tab sharing captures the page's own render surface and behaves differently from a desktop capture.
Setting it up
- 1
Start the session before you join
Launch your URHIRED AI session from the hub first, then join the Zoom call. The overlay is already positioned and transcription is warm.
- 2
Position the overlay
Put the Zoom window on the left and the overlay on the right. Nudge it with ⌥ plus the arrow keys until it sits where your eyes naturally rest.
- 3
Set Zoom's screen capture mode
In Zoom, open Settings → Share screen → Advanced and set Screen capture mode to "Capture with window filtering". That is the mode where the operating system's per-window exclusions are honoured, which is what keeps the overlay out of the frames Zoom sends. This is Zoom's video setting and has nothing to do with the audio capture mode above.
- 4
Share entire screen or a window
When the interviewer asks you to share, use Share Screen and pick your desktop or the specific window they need.
- 5
Check the share preview
Zoom shows a green border around what you are broadcasting and a small self-preview. Confirm the overlay is not in it.
- 6
Turn on click-through
Press ⌘⌥M so your clicks pass through to Zoom and your editor while the overlay stays readable.
Worth knowing
- Zoom's own annotation toolbar can overlap the overlay. Move the overlay to the opposite side of the screen if that happens.
- If you join from the Zoom web client rather than the desktop app, screen sharing goes through the browser — test that combination separately.
- Dual monitors work well: meeting on one display, overlay on the other, share only the display with your work on it.
Test before it counts
Also works with
Video meeting platforms
Live interviews over video. The overlay sits beside the call and stays out of your screen share.
Google Meet
Browser-based, so share a window or your whole screen rather than a tab.
Microsoft Teams
Common in enterprise loops. Both the desktop app and the web client work.
Cisco Webex
Used by large enterprises and consulting firms. Desktop app recommended.
Amazon Chime
Used across Amazon and AWS interview loops.
FaceTime
Occasionally used for informal or recruiter screens on Apple devices.
Editors
Coding and pair-programming tools
Shared editors and algorithm platforms. Snip the problem, keep working in their tool.
CoderPad
Shared editor with a live interviewer watching you type.
HackerRank
Used for both live interviews and timed take-home tests.
CodeSignal
Standardised technical screens, usually timed and often proctored.
LeetCode
Practice, plus some companies' own interview environments.
Codility
Timed assessments common in European hiring processes.
HackerEarth
Assessments and hackathons, common in Indian hiring processes.
Async & timed
Assessment and recorded platforms
Timed tests and recorded answers. Read the rules first — some of these are proctored.
HireVue
Recorded one-way video answers with a countdown timer.
Mercor
AI-conducted screening interviews.
Phone interviews
Recruiter screens and technical calls taken on your phone.
