CodeInterview now allows you to block copy-paste actions during technical interviews, helping ensure fair assessments and reducing the risk of plagiarism. This feature gives you more control over how candidates interact with the coding environment.
Here’s how it works:
Enable Copy-Paste Block for All Future Interviews
You can apply the block globally from your dashboard settings:
  • Username > Settings > Interview Rooms > Block copy paste from outside
  • Once enabled, the block will be applied to all new interviews created after this change.
  • Note
    : This setting does not affect any interviews that were already created.
