Permissions, Privacy & Troubleshooting

Microphone

Required to caption your side of the conversation and to answer a Mock Interview aloud.

Screen & System Audio Recording

Required to hear audio playing on your Mac and to capture the focused window. Copilot does not save video from system-audio capture.

Camera

Not required for current Copilot or Mock Interview workflows. You can leave camera access disabled.

Depending on the recognition mode used for your session, macOS may also request Speech Recognition permission. Allow it if prompted.

If captions or capture do not work

  1. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and confirm Boost Interview is enabled for the required permission.
  2. Quit and reopen Boost Interview after changing Screen & System Audio Recording access.
  3. Confirm the correct microphone is available and play a short test before the interview.
  4. If ⌥Z captures the wrong content, focus the window you want first (not the Boost Interview Copilot window itself), then press the shortcut again.

Your audio and interview data

Ending a session stops audio capture and live audio connections. This also applies when a time limit ends it automatically: up to 2 hours for live Copilot or 1 hour for Mock Interview, with free allowances potentially ending it sooner.

Your Voice Profile stays on this Mac. The original voice sample used to set it up is processed in memory and is not saved as an audio recording.

Under our Privacy Policy, we do not use your private interview content to train AI models without your explicit consent. See the Privacy Policy for data uses, cloud processing, retention, and service-provider terms.

Transcripts and generated reports are saved to your account so you can review them in History. You can delete a session from History when you no longer want to keep it. Always follow the recording and consent rules that apply to your interview.
