auth (required)​

Default : ''
Please see details of implementation on the [previous section](/docs/widget-config/security).

Here is an example:
auth: "apikey xxxxxxxxxxx sig=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

onWidgetClicked​

If you want to execute custom functions when the popup is opened or closed, you can use this callback function.

onWidgetClicked: () => {
// your code goes here
};

onFinish​

At the end of the recording process after the candidate uploaded successfully his interview, a callback function can be invoked using this parameter. This is useful if you want to :

  1. Customise the behaviour when the user returns to your page
  2. Save the videoID on your side either to playback the video or request additional informations using our API
It is executed in the scope of your page, so you can use your own functions. It takes 1 parameter : - `video_id: String`
onFinish: ({ video_id: String }) => {
console.log("Finished recording with id: " + video_id);
};

onError​

Create your own error handling according to the Error Type that is returned.

onError: ({ messageType: String }) => {
// your code goes here
};

onWidgetClose​

Will be triggerd every time the candidate minimize the widget

onWidgetClose: () => {
// your code goes here
};

debug​

Default : false

If you need more verbose output when integrating it, you can use the debug parameter.
debug: true;

practiceQuestions​

Help your candidates to feel more comfortable and set your own practice questions.

// example with one question
practiceQuestions: [
{
question: "Your question goes here",
attempts: 3,
duration: 30,
videoQuestion: "",
description: "Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply",
},
];

overlay​

Default : '#5aa4f5'

Customise the main colour of the widget, used on the call to actions and background.
overlay: "#5aa4f5" | "blue" | "rgb(90, 164, 245)" | "hsl(211, 89%, 66%)";
info

Putting too bright of a colour will result in issues with contrast, we recommend using medium to dark colours

Welcome Stage​

Prior to the video recording process, we provide an option that allows you to add a video introduction and/or text introduction to your interview.
In order to do so, you need to pass one or more of the following parameters: introVideo, welcomeTitle, welcomeText.

  • introVideo is the URL of the video, it can be a Youtube, Vimeo, Dropbox or Wistia link (or any public MP4 / HLS / DASH file).
  • welcomeTitle is a short text / greeting.
  • welcomeText will be shown below the welcomeTitle.
Attention

For your introduction video, you need to make sure the video is publicly accessible (e.g. private Youtube or Vimeo links won't work for your candidates).

  • For Vimeo videos, please uncheck "Show Playbar" from Vimeo video settings.
introVideo: "https://vimeo.com/698499292",
welcomeTitle: `Welcome ${candidate_name},`,
welcomeText: `We’re looking forward to meeting you!
In the next step you will be asked to answer several questions so we can get to know you better
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Best of luck πŸ˜ƒ`
