Run Live Coding Interviews in Your Browser
A live coding interview tool lets you watch a candidate write and discuss code in real time in a shared editor. TechInterview.live is a live coding interview tool that runs entirely in the browser — Monaco editor, real-time collaboration, AI-generated challenges, and Google Meet integration — from €2.50 per live interview, with zero installation for you or the candidate, and we don't retain your candidates' data.
What is a live coding interview?
A live coding interview is a technical assessment where a candidate writes code in real-time, often sharing their screen or using a collaborative editor. Companies use them to evaluate logic, problem-solving skills, and how developers think under pressure.
Problems with traditional coding interview tools
Most companies rely on fragmented tools like simple text editors or bulky online IDEs. Common pain points include:
- Setup Friction: Spending 10 minutes just getting the candidate onto the platform.
- Switching between tools: Popping between a video call and an editor.
- Unrealistic Environment: Using editors that don't feel like a real developer setup.
A simpler way to run live coding interviews
TechInterview.live is an agile **live coding interview tool** designed to start in seconds. We prioritize a zero-installation, browser-based experience that allows you to focus on the developer's skills, not the technology.
- Browser-Based: No downloads. No candidate accounts. Instant access.
- Monaco Editor: Use the same high-quality editor found in VS Code.
- Real-Time Collaboration: See every keystroke as it happens.
- Integrated with Google Meet: Launch directly from your video call with our extension.
AI-generated challenges built-in
Don't waste time searching for generic coding problems. Our **live coding interview tool** features built-in AI challenge generation. Tell it the role, seniority, and skill set, and it will provide a fresh, unique problem for your interview.
When to use this vs full IDE tools?
Full IDE environments are great for massive projects, but for a 60-minute interview, they are often overkill. Our tool is best for:
- Frontend roles needing quick logic checks.
- Early-stage teams moving fast.
- Interviews focusing on algorithm and data structure fundamentals.
Frequently asked questions
Do candidates need an account?
No. Candidates simply click the link you share and join the coding session instantly in the browser.
Can I run backend interviews?
Yes. The environment is browser-based but works well for Python, Node.js, and general algorithm and data-structure problems.
Is it like VS Code?
Yes. The editor is Monaco, the same engine behind VS Code, so the experience is familiar to any modern developer.
How much does a live coding interview tool cost?
TechInterview.live costs from €2.50 per live interview session with no subscription.
Can I generate coding challenges automatically?
Yes. Built-in AI generates fresh, role-specific problems from the role, seniority, and skill set you specify.
