ClapAssist listens to the Zoom call on your own computer and writes an answer from your resume. Nothing joins the meeting, so no extra name appears in the participant list, and the window is absent from screen shares and from Zoom's cloud recordings.
Zoom has more ways to capture a screen than most video tools, so it is worth being precise about each of them.
No. The window is marked excluded from screen capture by the operating system itself — WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE on Windows, sharingType = none on macOS. Zoom asks the OS for a picture of your screen and receives one without the window in it. That applies whether you share an entire desktop, a single window, or a browser tab.
No, and for the same reason. A recording is made from the same capture stream the OS hands over, so anything excluded from the share is excluded from the recording. It is not a separate setting you have to remember.
No. Nothing is invited to the meeting and nothing appears in the participant list. Many AI meeting tools work by sending a bot into the call, which shows up by name; this runs entirely on your machine.
No. ClapAssist never connects to Zoom at all, so there is nothing installed inside Zoom, nothing in your Zoom account, and no admin approval needed. It works the same whether you join Zoom through the desktop client or the browser.
Zoom removed its attention-tracking feature in 2020, so there is no focus indicator for a host to read. Even so, the overlay sits high on your screen near the camera, so glancing at it does not read as looking away.
Yes. If the question, a coding prompt or a slide is on their shared screen, ClapAssist can read what is on your display and answer from that as well as from what it hears.
A page you can trust has to say this part too.
If the interview moves to HackerRank, CoderPad or a similar assessment tool, that platform watches window focus, keystrokes and paste events from inside its own page. ClapAssist is built for the conversation, not for that, and we would rather say so here than take your money.
If the machine is not yours, installing anything on it is a question for whoever administers it, not for us.
The exclusion is an operating-system feature rather than a trick, which is why it is dependable. But nobody can promise how a platform will behave after an update it has not shipped yet. Do a five-minute test share with a friend before the interview that matters — that is what the free ten minutes are for.
Pay once. No subscription, nothing auto-renews. Prices show in your region's currency automatically. One account works on Mac and Windows.
They cannot see ClapAssist. Its window is excluded from screen capture at the operating-system level, so Zoom receives a picture of the screen without it. This works on every plan, including the free 10-minute one.
No. A Zoom recording is built from the same capture stream as a live share, so a window excluded from one is excluded from the other.
No. Nothing joins the call and no extra name appears in the participant list, because ClapAssist runs entirely on your own computer.
No. ClapAssist never connects to Zoom, so there is nothing to install inside Zoom and no admin approval required. It works with both the Zoom desktop client and Zoom in a browser.
Yes, identically, because it does not connect to the meeting platform at all. Any video call behaves the same way.
No. Those platforms monitor focus and keystrokes from inside their own page. ClapAssist is built for the interview conversation, not for locked-down assessments.
Yes. Every account gets 10 interview minutes free, once, with no card. That is enough to run a test Zoom call with a friend and confirm the window really is invisible on their screen.
Each page states where that tool beats this one. If one of them fits you better, it is better to find out here than after paying us.
