# How am I notified when a candidate switches their audio device

During a Live Interview, maintaining clear and consistent communication is essential. If a **candidate switches their audio input device** during the Live inetrview, the platform automatically notifies the evaluator.

This article explains how evaluators are notified when a candidate switches their audio device and what actions to take.

When a candidate changes their audio input device during a Live Interview session on Talview, the system displays an **on-screen pop-up alert**.

The notification:

* Appears prominently during the Live Interview session.
* Clearly indicates that the **candidate has switched their audio device**.
* May display details such as:
  * The **previous audio device**
  * The **newly selected audio device**
* Includes an acknowledgment button such as **“Ok, got it”** to proceed.

This ensures that the evaluators are immediately informed of any changes to the candidate’s audio configuration.

> **Note**: The notification is informational and designed to maintain transparency and interview integrity. It does not automatically pause or terminate the session.

  ### **Best Practices**

  * Ensure the new audio device provides **clear and stable sound quality**.
  * If your organization has strict compliance requirements, verify that the change aligns with interview guidelines.
  * Continue the interview once audio quality is confirmed.
