GhostInterview Documentation

What These Docs Help You Do

GhostInterview documentation exists to help you go from installation to dependable interview execution. Use it to get the app running, verify that your setup behaves correctly during screen share, and build a repeatable workflow for coding, system design, and OOD interviews. The most important idea is simple: do not wait until the live interview to discover that a permission is missing, a shortcut feels awkward, or your screen-share setup needs one more check.

Start here if you are new

If you have never used GhostInterview before, open Getting Started first. That guide walks through installation, sign-in, permissions, your first live session, and when to run the Baseline Check. It is the fastest path to a working setup.

Start here if you already installed the app

If the app is installed and you mostly care about confidence, go straight to Baseline Check, then read Undetectability. Those two guides tell you how to validate behavior on your own machine and how to think about supported versus unsupported assumptions.

Choose The Right Documentation Path

Different users arrive with different problems. Some need to get through installation. Others need to rehearse a live loop. Others are already preparing for a specific platform such as CodeSignal or HackerRank. The docs are organized so you can pick the shortest path that solves your actual bottleneck.

Onboarding and first-session setup

Use Getting Started when you need the full setup path. Then use Core Features to understand how Start interview, transcripts, screenshot context, and Knowledge Base fit together in one session. If you want fast navigation during practice, keep Keyboard Shortcuts open beside it.

Platform-specific rehearsal

If your main concern is platform compatibility, open Supported Platforms first. That page lists the meeting apps and interview environments currently shown on the homepage and explains what to do when your meeting software is not listed.

Troubleshooting and recovery

If something feels off, start with Common Issues. If the GhostInterview window appears during sharing, go to Screen Share Visible. If permissions are missing or were denied during install, use the dedicated macOS Permissions or Windows Permissions guides.

Build A Reliable Interview Workflow

The strongest GhostInterview setups are boring in the best way. They are predictable. The user knows which shortcut to press, which monitor or window they will share, which fallback path to use if something looks wrong, and which kind of rehearsal matters most for the target interview. The docs are written to get you to that point.

Before the interview week

Set up the app, verify permissions, and run one clean baseline session. Then move into rehearsal with the pages that match your actual target: technical interview assistant, coding interview assistant, or system design interview copilot. Documentation is most useful when it feeds directly into practice, not when it becomes separate reading.

During the interview week

Narrow the workflow. Confirm the platform, confirm screen-share behavior, decide which shortcuts you will actually use, and test one full session from start to finish. Most avoidable problems show up when users skip that last rehearsal and assume a previous setup still applies after an OS update, new permissions prompt, or platform setting change.

What Not To Expect From The Docs

These docs are designed to improve reliability and preparation quality. They are not a guarantee of invisibility on every unsupported setup, and they are not a substitute for running your own checks. They also do not claim access to internal company rubrics or hidden question banks. When a guide makes a recommendation, treat it as an implementation or preparation standard you can verify on your own machine.

Recommended Order If You Only Have 30 Minutes

1. Read Getting Started.
2. Run the Baseline Check.
3. Open Undetectability.
4. Review Core Features.
5. Check Supported Platforms.

Need Help?

If you are still blocked after following the relevant guide, move to Common Issues and then the platform or permission guide that matches the failure mode. If the problem is specific to an interview app, compare what you see with the setup pages for Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. The goal is to reduce surprises before the real loop, not during it.
