Tab Switch Detection

Alerts when the candidate leaves the interview window

Codebusted detects every time the candidate switches browser tabs, minimizes the window, or moves focus away from the interview page.

Browser version

Uses the browser's visibilitychange API. Every tab switch is logged with a timestamp and shown in the recruiter's activity timeline in real time.

Desktop app version

The Windows desktop app uses OS-level focus events for more accurate detection — catches window switches even when the browser tab stays open.

Impact on score

Each tab switch deducts 5 points from the integrity score.
