No, Kira Talent doesn’t directly see your screen, but that doesn’t mean you can freely switch tabs or pull up notes. The system can track mouse activity, tab switching, and unusual pauses. If your school turns on monitoring settings, these actions get flagged and reported.
Some programs also use AI-based tracking, which checks for eye movement and frequent looking away from the screen. It won’t catch everything, but it’s smart enough to notice if you’re reading off a script. So even though they don’t see your screen like screen-sharing, they know if you’re trying to cheat the system.
To be safe, treat it like a real interview—no notes, no second device, and full focus on the camera.
Yes and no—Kira itself doesn’t screen-record, but some schools turn on extra tools that track your browser activity. If these settings are enabled, your tab switching, clicks, and even copy-paste actions can be monitored. Schools don’t always say this clearly, but you’ll usually find it in the Kira invite or FAQs.
One tip I would give is don’t risk using sticky notes or reading answers off your screen. Some systems even flag if your eyes aren’t focused on the webcam. Even without live monitoring, the recording is reviewed, and if anything looks off, it can affect your evaluation.
Best approach? Prepare bullet points in advance, then speak naturally. That way, you don’t need to look away or rely on hidden notes.
