هل تظهر مساعدات مقابلات الذكاء الاصطناعي في قوائم المشاركين في الاجتماع؟

AI interview assistants fall into two broad categories, and only one of them shows up in the participant list:

• Meeting bots / notetakers. These dial into the call as a separate attendee (often labeled "Notetaker", "Otter.ai", "Fireflies", or a custom name). Because they are a real participant connected to the meeting, the host and everyone else can see them in the roster.
• Local desktop assistants. These run as a native app on your own computer. They capture your microphone and the system audio coming out of your speakers, then process it locally or via an API. They never connect to Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams as a participant, so there is nothing for the platform to display.

SubcueAI uses the second approach — a native desktop app on macOS and Windows with no meeting bot and no browser extension. You can read more on the how it works page.

If a candidate uses a notetaker-style assistant, the interviewer typically sees:

• An extra name in the participant list — sometimes labeled clearly as a bot, sometimes named after the candidate.
• A "recording" or "transcribing" indicator, depending on the platform.
• In some cases, a join/leave notification when the bot enters the call.

Most professional interviewers immediately recognize these names and will ask the candidate to remove the bot. This is the most common way candidates accidentally reveal that they are using an AI assistant.

A native app like SubcueAI sits at the operating system level, not inside the video conferencing app. It listens to your microphone and the system audio your computer is playing (the interviewer's voice coming through your speakers or virtual audio device). From Zoom's or Google Meet's perspective, nothing has changed about the meeting — there is still just one person connected from your machine.

The suggestions appear in a floating local overlay on your own screen, which the meeting platform has no visibility into either.

Not appearing in the participant list is not the same as being invisible in every situation. A local desktop assistant is still observable if:

• You share your screen and the overlay is on the shared display.
• Your interview is recorded locally on your machine by proctoring software that captures the full screen.
• You are on a company-managed device with monitoring agents, or in a proctored exam environment that controls what software can run.
• Your behavior gives it away — long pauses, reading cadence, eyes off-camera.
