Why do I have to give camera / microphone access to Filtered?
Why do I have to give camera / microphone access to Filtered?

Some interviewers require that you answer video questions or do code challenges.

The Filtered platform asks for access to your microphone and camera because the person that sent you your interview has required questions that include a video response. Some employers ask that you record a video to walk through your code, and others may ask non-technical questions much like a regular in-person interview. 

If you're unable to access a laptop or computer that has a microphone and camera, you should reach out to your interviewer to let them know. 

If you have access to a computer with the right hardware, you can test your hardware before the interview begins. Learn more about getting set up here.
