Candidate Experience Updates
✅ New Feature: Payment Enhancements
Description: We have refactored the scheduling flow where in the slot should only get confirmed once the payment has been received. Also, refactored the architecture to reduce the number of cases where the meeting stayed in draft state even after receiving the payment What’s New- Slot will not get scheduled if the payment goes in pending state. It will only get scheduled once the payment has been confirmed.
- Slot will change from draft to confirmed if the payment has been confirmed even when the candidate is not on the CX page.
- If the candidate abandons the flow and attempts to re-enter the flow, we will create a new transaction against the same order against their previously selected slot
- Candidate should be able to retry failed transactions against the same order
- If the transaction remains in pending state for very long, we will automatically cancel the transaction and allow them to pay again
Interview Rooms Enhancements
🐞Bug Fixes
1️⃣ Issue: Secondary Camera request was auto-triggered after a manually initiated 360° environment check. Solution: Updated the logic so the Secondary Camera auto-triggers only when the 360° environment check is system-initiated, not when requested manually by the interviewer. 2️⃣ Issue: When GrowthBook (GB) was enabled, all Insights tabs (Overview, Transcript, Speaker, etc.) were visible instead of restricting access. Solution: Updated the Insights view to show only the Verification tab along with video playback and hide the Overview, Transcript, and Speaker tabs when GB is enabled. 3️⃣ Issue: Background Effects were not supported for interviewers using Safari and Firefox browsers. Solution: Enabled Background Effects support for interviewers on Safari and Firefox, ensuring a consistent interview experience across browsers.Proctoring Updates:
