## **How is the Evaluator notified?**

When a candidate changes their camera input device during a Live Interview session, 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 camera device**.
* May display details such as:
  * The **previous camera device**
  * The **newly selected camera 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 video configuration.

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

<Tip>
  **Best Practices**

  * Encourage candidates to finalize their setup before the interview begins.
  * Avoid frequent interruptions unless the switch impacts video clarity or integrity.
