CoPilot Interview works with Webex the same way it works with any call app: join with computer audio in the Webex app or a browser, and the desktop app captions what your computer plays. CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant for Windows and Mac; there is no Webex integration or partnership, and dial-in or call-me audio can't be heard. The website lists Webex under “Also” beside the main supported apps, so run one short test before a Webex interview.
Which ways of joining Webex work
| How you join | Heard by the app? |
|---|---|
| Webex desktop app with computer audio | Yes |
| Webex in a browser tab with computer audio | Yes |
| Dialing in, or having Webex call your phone | No; the voice plays on the phone |
| Webex on a phone or tablet only | No; join from the computer |
| A meeting-room device | No; join from your own computer |
The Webex setup and 2-minute test guide walks through Webex's own audio menus and a timed test call; this article covers the CoPilot Interview side.
Step by step
- In Webex, set the speaker to the headphones you will wear and make them your computer's default output too. Webex's audio settings sit under Meeting, then Meeting settings, then Audio in the desktop app; menu names change with updates.
- Open CoPilot Interview and, the first time, choose Use the free plan or activate your license key.
- Click 🎯 Candidate. Add 📋 Company & Job Description and Your Resume if you want tailored answers, and set 🌐 Language.
- Run 1. Check your audio: click ▶ Start test, use Webex's speaker test or play any sound, and confirm the Interviewer meter moves.
- Click 🎙 Start Session just before the call, then join Webex and pick computer audio when it asks how to connect.
- Click ⚡ AI Answer (Ctrl+Shift+A) when a question ends and 🆕 New Q (Ctrl+Shift+Q) before the next one.
- Click End afterwards; the session is saved in Documents › CoPilot Interview › Sessions.
Windows and Mac differences
| Windows 10 and 11 | macOS 12 or later | |
|---|---|---|
| How the app hears the interviewer | It captures what the computer plays (loopback audio), so Webex needs no extra software | Screen Recording permission, plus whatever the audio check and captions note ask for (below) |
| Your microphone in a live session | Starts muted (🔇 Muted) so only the interviewer is transcribed; click it to unmute | Always on; the Mac app has no mute button |
| Shortcuts | Ctrl+Shift+A answer, Ctrl+Shift+Q new question, Ctrl+Shift+L pause or resume listening | The same keys with ⌘+Shift |
| After changing a permission | Restart CoPilot Interview | Quit with ⌘Q and reopen |
On a Mac, allow Microphone and Screen Recording when macOS asks (current macOS calls the second one Screen & System Audio Recording). The app's own notice says Screen Recording is “Needed for screenshots and system-audio capture”; after granting it, quit with ⌘Q and reopen. Then run the audio check. If the Interviewer meter reads “no audio”, the meeting's sound is not reaching the app, and in a session the captions area shows ● REC MIC with the note “macOS: Install BlackHole for system audio capture. Mic recording active.” Follow that note. BlackHole is a third-party virtual audio driver, and the app gives no further setup steps for it. Until the Interviewer meter moves, the session hears only your microphone.
Limits
| Plan | Longest session | Live time per day |
|---|---|---|
| Free ($0) | 15 minutes | 15 minutes |
| Standard ($24.99/mo) | 60 minutes | Up to 100 minutes |
| Pro ($39.99/mo) and Pro+ ($49.99/mo) | 70 minutes | No daily limit |
| Hour packs (1, 5 or 15 hours, one-time) | 60 minutes | Until the pack's hours are used |
The app counts only active listening time: after 10 minutes with no voice, recording pauses and the clock stops until you resume.
When Webex captions fail
- No captions at all: check the Interviewer meter in the audio check. On Windows, match the Webex speaker to the default output; on a Mac, follow the captions note.
- Captions stop after a Wi-Fi drop and a switch to phone audio: expected; rejoin with computer audio.
- Captions stop after a headset reconnects: pause and resume listening (Ctrl+Shift+L twice) so the app picks up the new device.
- Garbled words with Bluetooth: see headphones and audio setup.
- Still stuck: email support@copilotinterview.com with your operating system, Webex version and headset model.
Rules
Rehearse with the free AI mock interview before the Webex call. In the live interview, follow your employer's rules; online assessments and AI-led rounds forbid outside help. The app never joins the meeting, as why CoPilot Interview is not a meeting plugin explains.
Frequently asked questions
Is Webex officially supported?
The website lists Webex among the extra apps that work, not in its main list. It works for the same reason as Zoom or Teams: the app hears what the computer plays. Test once before the interview.
Do I need a Webex add-on?
No. There is no Webex integration; CoPilot Interview is a separate desktop app.
Can I use Webex's call-me option?
Not with live captions. Call-me and dial-in put the interviewer's voice on your phone, which the desktop app can't hear.
Does Webex in a browser work?
Yes, with computer audio. The browser plays the call through your computer, which is what the app listens to.
Run the audio check before your next call
The free plan needs no account and no card: 15 minutes of live help a day in sessions of up to 15 minutes, plus AI mock interviews. Desktop app for Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 12 or later.
