Common Issues and Fixes
Additional Troubleshooting Tips
- Browser Compatibility: For best results, use desktop/laptop with updated Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Mobile devices may have limited functionality.
- Stable Internet: A reliable high-speed connection ensures smooth code execution and collaboration.
- Permissions Matter: Interviewers activate CodeJam and control candidate permissions. Communicate if you can’t edit or execute code.
- Refresh First: Many interface glitches or sync errors can be resolved by refreshing the page.
- Device Readiness: Restart your system before the session to clear temporary glitches.
Best Practices to Prevent Issues
- Join the session 5–10 minutes early to test CodeJam functionality.
- Close background apps that use heavy bandwidth (e.g., streaming, downloads).
- Use a wired internet connection when possible.
- Test your mic, webcam, and system performance in advance.
