Live Interviews

The errors below are specific to live interviews in Kira.

"Please ensure your camera/microphone is connected and access is allowed"

If you're receiving this error in a live Kira interview, the platform doesn't have access to your camera or microphone.

First, make sure your camera is working in other applications. Then, close your browser, re-open your unique link, and allow the Kira platform access to your camera again.

If that doesn’t work, try selecting another option from the dropdown, using a new browser, or restarting your computer. We also recommend going through another Device Setup on your Check-In page.

"Hmm, something's not right"

If you're receiving this error in a live Kira interview, please refresh your page. 

The most common cause of this error is a loss of internet connection, but could also point to an issue connecting with your specific station. Refreshing your page will force a fresh connection with the Kira servers.
