Phone companion
Answers on your phone — on a screen you don't share
Sometimes the interviewer sees your whole screen directly, or local recording is on — and there the overlay on your computer can be visible. The companion solves this: hints are mirrored to your phone or a second device next to you that isn't part of the screen share. You don't share the phone's screen, audio stays on the computer, and the data is end-to-end encrypted.
How it works
Hints mirror to the phone
The transcript and ready answers arrive on both the computer and the phone. Look at whichever is safer for your interview format.
You don't share the phone screen
Only the computer screen is in the share. The phone isn't part of the broadcast, and the link is end-to-end encrypted.
Honestly
Where the companion won't help
The companion covers the cases where the overlay on your computer can be seen — native clients on macOS 15, local recording, sharing the whole screen. But it doesn't defeat webcam proctoring: if a system watches your gaze, looking at a phone is exactly what it catches. In those formats it's more honest not to risk it. The full visibility map is on a separate page.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get interview answers on my phone?
Vizir has a companion mode: hints from your computer are mirrored to your phone or a second device next to you. You don't share that device's screen on the call, so only you see the hints. It connects via a link and the data is end-to-end encrypted.
Why use a phone companion if there's an overlay?
The overlay is hidden during browser screen sharing, but in native clients on macOS 15 and during local screen recording it can be visible. In those cases the companion moves the hints to a device that isn't part of the screen share.
Does the companion defeat proctoring?
No. If webcam proctoring is running, glancing at a phone is exactly what such systems track. The companion covers screen sharing and recording, but it doesn't defeat webcam proctoring.
