AceRound AI works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex and any other app whose audio plays through your computer, because it listens to system audio rather than plugging into the meeting app; its platforms page lists 20 calling apps and formats, from Slack huddles and Discord to WhatsApp and FaceTime, as of November 13, 2026. It runs as a desktop app for Windows 10 (version 2004) or later and macOS 13 or later, and in Chrome or Edge with nothing to install, while phone screens run in the browser on your computer with the phone on speaker. We make CoPilot Interview, a competing app, so we describe AceRound from its own pages and label our pick.
Meeting and interview apps AceRound AI supports
AceRound groups 88 platforms on its platforms page, from video calls to one-way video, assessments and Chinese apps. The calling apps and interview formats are below; our guide to how AceRound AI works covers the rest.
| App or format | What AceRound AI says (November 13, 2026) | How it hears the call |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex | Named; join as usual and start AceRound | Desktop app: system audio, with no share prompt. Browser: share the tab or screen with system audio |
| Google Meet and browser meetings (Whereby, Jitsi Meet, Livestorm) | Named; join from Chrome or Edge | Browser: share the meeting tab; its guide calls browser meetings the smoothest option |
| Slack huddles, Discord, GoTo Meeting, RingCentral, Zoho Meeting | Named | System audio |
| WhatsApp, Telegram, LINE, KakaoTalk, Zalo, FaceTime | Named | System audio, when the call runs on the computer |
| Phone interviews | Named; browser only | Phone on speaker near the computer; a one-time 30-second voiceprint separates your voice |
| One-way video (HireVue, Spark Hire and others) | 14 platforms named | Recorded format; see the rules below |
| Coding pads (CoderPad, HackerRank, CodeSignal and others) | Named | Screenshot solving reads the problem on screen |
Operating systems, browsers and phones
| Device | Support as the vendor states it |
|---|---|
| Windows | Desktop app on Windows 10 version 2004 or later; an October 11, 2026 update lets it hear the interviewer through headphones that are not the default output |
| Mac | Desktop app on macOS 13 or later; read its macOS screen-share guide once if you share your entire screen in Zoom |
| Browser | Live help in Chrome or Edge, nothing to install; its interview guide also names Safari |
| Phone | Cannot start an interview; joins a computer session as a second screen by QR-code link |
| Linux and Chromebook | Not listed for the interview copilot (only its separate job-application tool has a Linux build); test the browser version |
How AceRound AI hears the interviewer
AceRound does not integrate with any meeting app. Its FAQ says it listens to your computer's audio, so if the interviewer's voice plays through the computer, it hears it, whichever app you use. The desktop client captures system audio directly with no share prompt once you grant the system permission. In the browser, you share the interview tab once, and for a desktop meeting app you also tick the option to share system audio; a flat waveform on the setup screen means nothing is reaching it. Phone interviews are different: you choose the phone-interview method in the browser on your computer, put the phone on speaker beside it and record a one-time voiceprint of about 30 seconds so it can tell your voice from the interviewer's. Its help guide says phone mode works in English and Chinese, while its platforms page says English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
Setup, app by app
- Sign up (30 free minutes and 1 mock interview, no card) and fill in My Resources once: your résumé (PDF up to 10 MB), the job description and keywords for company and technical terms.
- Install the desktop app on Windows 10 (2004+) or macOS 13+, or open the browser version in Chrome or Edge, and set the interview language before starting, since it is locked for the session.
- Zoom, Teams or Webex desktop app: join as usual and start the session in the AceRound desktop app; it hears system audio.
- Google Meet or another browser meeting: join in Chrome or Edge, start the session in the browser version and share the meeting tab.
- Phone screen: choose Phone Interview in the browser version, put the phone on speaker near the computer and record the voiceprint the first time.
- Answers on a phone: start the session on the computer, then scan the QR code to read answers on a phone or tablet.
Before the real interview, run a ten-minute test:
- Ask a friend to call you on the app your interview uses from another device, exactly as the interview will run.
- Have them read three questions aloud and check that the assistant's captions match what was said, word for word.
- Unplug or switch your headphones once: many failures come from audio going to a Bluetooth headset the tool is not listening to.
- Share your screen the way the interviewer may ask you to, and look at the recording to see what they would see.
- Read the invitation. If it forbids outside help, use the tool to practice beforehand and take the round yourself.
Limits and rules to know
- Phone interviews are browser-only and support fewer languages than video calls.
- Interviews cannot start on a phone; the phone is a second screen.
- Audio is recorded: its privacy policy says recordings are typically kept for 30 days unless you ask for longer.
- Pricing as listed on November 13, 2026: credits $9.90 for 60 minutes, $29.90 for 240 and $59.90 for 600; passes $24.90 for 7 days, $39.90 for 30 and $69.90 for 90, with no auto-renewal. A pass starts when you activate it.
- Refunds: 7 days for unused purchases, and partial refunds for unused portions.
- Much of its site is about help in timed online assessments, and it markets itself for use without the interviewer knowing; we leave both out.
Two kinds of round sit outside every assistant on this page. Timed online assessments on platforms such as HackerRank, CodeSignal and Codility, and one-way video interviews such as HireVue, are usually proctored or recorded for review, and their instructions normally forbid outside help, so prepare for them instead of using a tool live. In a live conversation with a person, follow your employer's rules and the instructions in the invitation.

Where CoPilot Interview fits
★ Best choice for most people: CoPilot Interview. AceRound names more calling apps and has a browser route; for a free allowance every day rather than once, ours fits better. CoPilot Interview is an interview copilot built as a desktop app for Windows 10 and 11 and macOS 12 or later. Our FAQ describes it as running in its own window beside Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, CoderPad and HackerRank, so there is no browser extension or meeting plugin to install; it listens to the call and your microphone and shows a structured answer in about two seconds. The free plan gives 15 minutes a day of live help in sessions of up to 15 minutes, with AI mock interviews included. Standard is $24.99 a month and Pro $39.99, hour packs cost $9.99, $29.99 or $49.99, and a 14-day money-back guarantee covers the first payment of a new subscription if under 30 minutes of live session time were used (see the refund policy). You can rehearse first in the free browser demo or the AI mock interview. Whatever you use, follow your employer's rules.
