How the overlay stays out of the shared screen
Modern operating systems let an app protect its windows from screen capture. InterviewGlide uses that protection for everything it shows during a call, so the shared screen shows your call, editor, or document while your talking points stay on your own display.
InterviewGlide is a desktop app running beside the meeting. It does not join the call, does not appear in the participant list, and does not need a browser extension.
Tested on the meeting apps candidates use
Screen sharing is tested on Mac with Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams, with the shared result watched from a second device. Testing covers sharing the entire screen and a single window, using the overlay while sharing, and capturing a coding problem.
Meeting apps and operating systems update often, so we retest after major releases. The Mac results do not automatically apply to Windows.
- Google Meet on Mac: tested.
- Zoom desktop on Mac: tested.
- Microsoft Teams on Mac: tested.
- Windows: not covered by the Mac results; test your own setup.
Run a practice share before a real interview
What your own screen shows does not prove what the other side receives. Join a practice call from a second device, or ask someone you trust to watch, using the same computer, meeting app, display arrangement, and sharing mode you plan to use.
- Share the entire screen and, separately, a single window or tab.
- Use the overlay normally: move it, scroll, and type a follow-up.
- Capture a coding problem, then cancel a capture.
- Watch the receiver side for anything you would not want shown.
- Repeat after operating-system or meeting-app updates.
Honest limits
No software can promise to be invisible in every setup. Some recording, monitoring, or proctoring setups capture the screen differently from standard meeting apps and may behave differently. Older operating-system versions, unusual display setups, and new app releases can also change the result.
Capture protection is a product behavior, not permission to use assistance. Employers, interviewers, assessment providers, and local rules may restrict AI tools, screenshots, transcription, or recording even when an overlay is not visible. InterviewGlide never claims to be “undetectable”; use it only where assistance is allowed.
