VidCruiter can record your screen during a proctored assessment, but screen recording is an employer-configured feature — not a default on every test. VidCruiter is primarily a video interviewing and assessment platform; its monitoring depth depends on which features the hiring team enables.
What VidCruiter records
- Video responses. In one-way recorded interviews, the platform records your video answers — this is the core function, not proctoring.
- Screen recording. If the employer enables screen sharing during a live or recorded assessment, VidCruiter captures what appears on the shared screen.
- Webcam monitoring. For proctored assessments, the webcam records the candidate throughout the session.
- Activity tracking. Tab switches, window changes, and time spent on each question can be logged.
When recording happens
Screen recording applies only when the employer requests it. A standard video interview records your webcam response — not your screen. A proctored skills assessment may add screen sharing and activity monitoring on top.
The invitation tells you what to expect. If it mentions screen sharing or proctoring, those features will be active. If it only mentions a video interview, the recording is limited to your camera response.
How to prepare
- Read the invitation. It should specify whether screen sharing or proctoring is required.
- Close unrelated tabs and applications. Anything visible on your shared screen is part of the recording.
- Test your camera and microphone before starting.
- Stay in the assessment window. Tab-switching may be logged.

Bottom line
VidCruiter records your webcam response in standard video interviews. Screen recording applies when the employer enables it for proctored or live assessments. Check your invitation and keep your shared screen clean.
