For Microsoft Teams interviews

Microsoft Teams Interview Assistant Built for managed Windows laptops.

Most candidates interviewing for a Microsoft, LinkedIn, or enterprise role end up on Microsoft Teams — often on a company-issued laptop where browser extensions are blocked by group policy. InterviewLift is a native Windows + macOS application that runs alongside Teams and surfaces real-time answers in an overlay Teams cannot share.

Why Teams candidates pick InterviewLift

Teams is a stricter environment than Zoom — corporate policies, Defender, and Together Mode all break naive AI overlays. Here is the comparison.

Native Windows app, code-signed
InterviewLift ships as a code-signed Windows installer and a notarised macOS app. Some company-managed laptops block installing any new software, so check your IT policy first.
Invisible to Teams screen share
Teams uses the Windows Graphics Capture API for screen share. InterviewLift sets WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE on the overlay window so the Teams capture pipeline never sees it — verified against Teams 24H2.
Together Mode + breakout room safe
Together Mode is the Microsoft feature most extension-based copilots break against. InterviewLift watches audio at the OS layer instead of hooking into the Teams DOM, so Together Mode and breakout rooms are transparent to the assistant.
OneDrive / SharePoint context aware
When the interviewer drops a OneDrive Word doc or a SharePoint case study link, the assistant indexes the visible content and lines up suggested talking points before you finish reading.
Private, encrypted transcripts
Microsoft enterprise hiring is sensitive about interview data. InterviewLift keeps your transcript and session recording encrypted on our servers and never shares them with the employer.
Re-tested on every release
Every InterviewLift release is regression-tested against the latest Microsoft Teams client before it ships.

About Microsoft Teams Interview Assistant

No. Microsoft Teams has no mechanism to enumerate running applications on the candidate's device, and InterviewLift uses Windows Graphics Capture exclusion so the overlay is never present in any Teams share, recording, or compliance recording. The Teams meeting host sees only what the Teams client itself captures.

Often, yes. InterviewLift's Windows installer is code-signed and the macOS app is notarised by Apple. Some IT departments block installing any new software; in that case, use a personal laptop.

Yes. Together Mode is a rendering feature; it does not change the audio routing. InterviewLift listens at the audio-driver level, so Together Mode is invisible to the assistant and you get the same answers.

No. The overlay is excluded from Windows Graphics Capture, which is the API Teams uses to record. Reviewed recordings show no trace of the overlay.

No. InterviewLift does not join the meeting and is not visible to the Teams server. Only the human participant (you) appears in the attendee list.

InterviewLift is free to install, and every new account gets 15 free questions with Jarvis, no card needed. To try a full live interview, the 1-round Jarvis pack is the way in. Gold and Diamond plans come with a 3-day money-back guarantee.
