How to Use an AI Interview Copilot on Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet

An AI interview copilot can hear a video call in one of two ways — through your microphone, or by listening to the tab/screen you share. They work differently, and picking the right one for your setup matters more than which app you use.

Method 1: Microphone only

This is the simplest setup — the copilot listens through your device's mic, the same way it would on a phone call. It picks up your own voice clearly, plus the interviewer's if they're audible through your speakers. It works everywhere, needs no extra permissions beyond the usual mic access, and is the only option on mobile.

Best for: phone-style calls, mobile browsers, or any setup where sharing your screen's audio isn't practical.

Method 2: System or tab audio

On desktop, sharing a browser tab or your whole screen — with its audio included — lets the copilot hear the interviewer's side of the call directly from the meeting app itself, instead of through your microphone picking up your speakers. It's cleaner, catches quieter speakers better, and doesn't require anything to be said out loud on your end.

Zoom

  1. Join your Zoom meeting as usual.
  2. In the browser tab running the AI copilot, choose the system/tab audio option and start sharing when prompted.
  3. In the "Choose what to share" browser dialog, pick Chrome Tab (if Zoom is running in a browser tab) or Entire Screen, and make sure the "share audio" checkbox is turned on before confirming.

Microsoft Teams

  1. Join the Teams call.
  2. Same as above — start the share from the AI copilot's tab, and in the browser's share dialog, select the window/screen Teams audio is playing through, with audio sharing enabled.

Google Meet

  1. Join the Meet call in one browser tab, and the AI copilot in another.
  2. Start the share from the copilot's tab and pick Chrome Tab, selecting the Meet tab specifically — this is the most reliable option in Chrome since it isolates just that tab's audio.
Which sharing option actually has audio? In Chrome and Edge, only Chrome Tab and Entire Screen offer a "share audio" checkbox — sharing an individual app Window usually doesn't. On a Mac, only Chrome Tab can capture audio at all — Entire Screen audio sharing isn't supported by macOS. If you don't see the audio checkbox, go back and pick one of the other two options.

Nothing being picked up?

Double-check the shared tab or screen is actually the one playing the interviewer's audio (not muted, volume turned up), and re-share if you switch tabs mid-call — the share only follows the exact tab or screen you originally picked, not whatever becomes active afterward.
