Join the interview and complete the setup

  1. In Meet, navigate to the Assessment list from the left-side menu.
  2. Find the Live Interview you want to enter, click the three-dot menu next to the interview status, and click Enter.
    • You can use filters to narrow down your search.
    • This does not start the interview. This opens a preparation lobby, where you'll be able to prepare before being connected.

Alternatively, find the Live interview in the candidate profile and click Enter live room.

  1. Grant permission for your webcam and microphone when prompted. We recommend using headphones to reduce echo or audio issues.
  2. Complete the quick technical check:
    • Select your webcam from the dropdown until you see yourself in the preview, then click Continue.
    • Select your microphone from the dropdown until the volume meter responds to sound, then click Continue.
    • Run the connection test, then click Continue and Start my interview.
  3. If you’re the host, you can click on Start interview once all participants have joined and are ready.
    • To transfer host control, click Make host under another company user’s name.
    • If no host is present, any company user can click Become host to take over.
  4. Meet will start routing you and the other party to the server with the optimal video connection for your Live Interview. Once the server is determined, you'll be instantly connected to the other party assuming they have also entered the interview.

  1. To end the interview and save the recording, click Finish.
