Question 6

Can the interviewer see GhostDesk when I share my screen?

Accepted Answer

No. GhostDesk uses hardware-level Windows OS capture exclusion to be completely excluded from all screen capture APIs. It does not appear in Zoom recordings, OBS captures, or any screen-sharing software.

Question 7

How do I verify GhostDesk is invisible before my interview?

Accepted Answer

Open OBS Studio or Windows Game Bar (Win+G), start a screen capture, then open GhostDesk. You will not see GhostDesk in the capture preview. Alternatively, start a Zoom meeting with yourself on two devices and share your screen — GhostDesk will not appear.
