Cowinx

Launch checklist

Before every real interview, run through these in order.

Updated

Account

  1. Check Settings → Account — enough time left for the round.

Setup check

Open setup check and run both tests. If either fails, stop and fix it — do not join the interview until both pass.

  1. Focus check — the counter stays at zero while you stay in the interview tab.
  2. Screen share check — share your screen with the tool; the viewer should see no trace of Cowinx.

Meeting test

Open Cowinx, click Start Interview, then start a meeting in Zoom, Google Meet, or whatever you'll use. Join from your phone and share your screen — the phone is the interviewer's view.

  1. System audio — play a YouTube video or any video with speech; the transcript picks up what's being said.
  2. Stealth — the control bar and workspace are not in the shared view on your phone.
  3. Q&A — press ; an answer streams into the Q&A panel.
  4. Activity Monitor— search “Cowinx”; no match.

If the overlay shows up

See Meeting platforms for the fix.
