Shows When Sharing Screen

Troubleshoot and resolve issues when Interview Bolt becomes visible during screen sharing.

Understanding the Issue

Interview Bolt is designed to be undetectable during screen sharing sessions. However, in some cases, the application may become visible due to specific settings or configurations.

This guide will help you ensure that Interview Bolt remains invisible during your coding interviews and screen sharing sessions.

How to Fix

1
Update to the Latest Version

Ensure you're using the latest version of Interview Bolt, as we continuously improve our undetectability features.

Download the latest version from our download page.

2
Check Undetectability Settings

Open Interview Bolt and go to Settings.

Ensure that the "Undetectable Mode" option is enabled.

If you don't see this option, you may need to update to the latest version.

3
Verify Screen Sharing Application

Interview Bolt is tested with the following screen sharing applications:

  • Zoom (Note: Undetectability doesn't work on Zoom versions 6.16+)
  • Microsoft Teams
  • Google Meet
  • Skype
  • Discord

If you're using a different application, it may not be fully supported yet.

Zoom Version Compatibility Issue

If you're using Zoom version 6.16 or newer, you'll need to downgrade to an earlier version for Interview Bolt to remain undetectable.

Follow Zoom's official guide on how to downgrade to a previous version.

4
Use Window Sharing Instead of Full Screen

When possible, share a specific window (like your code editor) instead of your entire screen.

This reduces the chance of Interview Bolt being visible during the sharing session.

5
Check for Conflicting Software

Some security or screen recording software may interfere with Interview Bolt's undetectability features.

Temporarily disable any such software during your interview session.

Important Note

Before your actual interview, we strongly recommend doing a test run with a friend to ensure that Interview Bolt remains undetectable during screen sharing.
