SETUP GUIDE

Check your interview audio setup

Choose the right audio source and verify captions before a practice session or permitted interview.

Updated 2026-09-14 · By AskDADA AI

Microphone and meeting audio are different

Share the selected meeting tab’s interviewer audio. OpenAI transcribes this audio; AskDADA does not capture or transcribe your microphone. Test your setup or go live in the same Live Interview workspace.

Use a current desktop Chrome or Edge browser for supported tab audio. English is the current speech language. Browser, operating system, and meeting-app behavior can differ, so a successful test on one configuration does not prove another will work.

A five-step readiness check

  1. Close unnecessary audio applications and select the input/output devices you intend to use.
  2. Open the relevant meeting or practice audio in a browser tab when using tab capture.
  3. In AskDADA, choose the intended source and review the browser permission prompt. Share only the source you mean to provide.
  4. Play or say a short permitted English sample. Confirm the captions match the correct speaker/source.
  5. Start a brief practice flow, check the timer and answer response, then pause or end it.

Only use material you are allowed to process. For a real meeting, obtain the required organizer and participant permission first.

If no captions appear

  • Confirm the selected source is not muted and the browser tab actually contains audio.
  • Check that screen and shared-audio permissions have not been blocked.
  • Check the operating system’s screen and audio capture permissions for the selected application.
  • Play a short spoken sample in the shared tab to check its audio connection.
  • Stop repeated attempts if the service reports an error; note the time, device, and displayed message for support.

Desktop and screen sharing

Desktop 1.1.9 is an unsigned preview for macOS 13.3+ and Windows x64. Operating-system security warnings may prevent installation; the browser app remains available. Review the current release page.

Screen-capture protection is different from audio capture. It varies by operating system and meeting application. Always check your actual sharing preview, and do not use it to violate assessment rules.

Get help without oversharing

Email support@askdada.in with your platform, browser/app version, approximate time, selected capture mode, and a short description of the error. Do not attach a confidential interview recording, password, or OTP. Pause/end active assistance while investigating an issue.
