CoPilot Interview Window Position and Size: Moving, Resizing and the Overlay

The CoPilot Interview window opens at 1100 × 760 pixels: drag its top bar to move it, drag an edge or corner to resize it down to 860 × 600, or click the square button to maximize it. It behaves like a normal window and doesn't stay on top of other apps. For a small answer window that does stay on top, click 📌 Overlay in a Candidate session.

Move and resize the main window

1. Drag the dark strip across the top, with the CoPilot Interview name, to move the window.
2. Drag any edge or corner to resize it. It won't go below 860 × 600 pixels.
3. Click the square button at the top right to maximize it, and click it again to restore the earlier size.
4. Each time you open the app, the main window starts again at its default size.

Arrange the panels inside the window

1. Drag the thin divider between the left side (captions and buttons) and the answer panel. The left side can be between 200 pixels and 70% of the window wide.
2. Drag the top edge of the captions box to give the captions more room: up shrinks the recording area, down grows it.
3. Drag the top edge of the buttons area to shrink it; the buttons then scroll inside it.
4. Double-click the captions handle or the buttons handle to reset it. The app remembers all three between launches.

The answer panel guide explains what each area shows.

Use the Overlay for an answer window that stays on top

1. In a Candidate session, click 📌 Overlay in the top bar, on the right. It isn't offered in Mock Interview or Interviewer / HR mode.
2. The Overlay opens at 420 × 520 pixels near the top right of the screen your mouse pointer is on. It shows the latest question, the answer and any ▶ Example run.
3. Drag its top bar, labelled CoPilot Interview Overlay, to move it. Click − or + to make it narrower or wider in 80-pixel steps, or drag an edge.
4. Scroll long answers with the mouse wheel or Ctrl+Shift+↑ and ↓; the keyboard shortcuts list the rest.
5. Close it with ✕ and reopen it with 📌 Overlay. It comes back where you left it.

Size limits and what is remembered

Always on top and opacity

• Main window: stacks like any other window, so clicking your meeting app brings that app to the front.
• Overlay: stays above other windows, including a meeting app in full screen. While a dropdown list is open in the main window, the Overlay steps back so it doesn't cover the list.
• Opacity: both windows open fully solid; on a Mac the Overlay's panel is very slightly see-through. To see more of the meeting, make the main window smaller or switch to the Overlay.
• Dual AI Mode: the Overlay widens to at least 720 pixels to fit two columns, then returns to its earlier width when Dual AI Mode ends.

Multiple monitors and troubleshooting

• The Overlay opens on the display under your mouse pointer the first time, and after that where you last put it.
• If a monitor is unplugged or rescaled, the Overlay moves itself back onto a screen you can see.
• No 📌 Overlay button: you're in Mock Interview or Interviewer / HR mode; the Overlay belongs to Candidate sessions.
• Two answers squeezed side by side: click + on the Overlay, or drag the main window's divider to give the answer panel more room.
• Can't find the main window: open CoPilot Interview again. Only one copy runs, so this brings the existing window forward.

Set it up before the day

CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant for Windows and Mac that runs as its own window beside the meeting app rather than inside it. Arrange the window and the Overlay in a short Candidate session before the day, such as the free 15-minute live demo, so the layout is already remembered when it counts, and follow the setup guide for audio. Shorter answer settings also help an answer fit a small window.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make CoPilot Interview stay on top of other windows?

Use the 📌 Overlay. It is the window built to stay on top and it remembers its size and position. The main window behaves like a normal window.

Does CoPilot Interview remember where I put the window?

The Overlay does, between sessions and launches. The main window opens at its default size each time, though the layout inside it, such as the divider position, is remembered.

What is the smallest size for the CoPilot Interview window?

The main window goes down to 860 × 600 pixels. The Overlay goes down to 300 pixels wide and 220 tall, and up to 1200 wide.

Can I put the Overlay on a second monitor?

Yes. Drag it there by its top bar; it reopens on that monitor next time, and moves back to a visible screen if that monitor is disconnected.
