CodinGame may monitor or record your screen when the employer enables proctoring for a coding assessment. However, not every CodinGame test uses the same monitoring settings. The hiring company's configuration and the assessment instructions determine whether screen capture, webcam access, or other checks apply.
When CodinGame proctoring applies
Look at the invitation and setup flow before starting the test. A monitored assessment may ask for browser permissions, screen sharing, webcam access, microphone access, or identity verification.
Employers can use different assessment modes for different roles. A normal coding challenge may focus on the solution and test results, while a higher-integrity assessment may add controls intended to confirm that the candidate is working independently.
What may be monitored
When monitoring is enabled, the assessment may involve:
- Screen or desktop activity during the coding session
- Webcam images or video for presence or identity checks
- Microphone input if audio monitoring is part of the setup
- Browser and test-window activity such as leaving the assessment
- Code and timing signals used to review the assessment result
The precise controls depend on the employer's settings. Read the consent notice and ask the recruiter if you are unsure what the platform will collect.
Does every CodinGame test record you?
No. CodinGame assessments can be configured differently, so one candidate's experience may not match another's. If the invitation does not mention screen recording or proctoring, do not assume that a full recording is required; confirm with the hiring team instead.
How to prepare for a monitored coding test
- Complete the system and browser checks in advance.
- Confirm whether external documentation or reference material is allowed.
- Close unrelated applications and tabs if screen monitoring is required.
- Use a stable internet connection and quiet workspace.
- Ask about camera, microphone, and recording requirements before the timer begins.
Bottom line
CodinGame can record or monitor your screen when the employer enables the relevant proctoring settings, but recording is not automatically part of every assessment. The invitation and pre-test permission screen should explain the requirements.
