Add-On Feature
The live video feature is an interactive way for you to actively engage with applicants. This feature enables you to meet and speak to applicants virtually and imitates the traditional interview setting.
Whereby
All users who've been actively using the live video feature will now use Whereby by default. Whereby simplifies the candidates' experience because it doesn't require them to download a separate app. Candidates can simply access their live video rooms in their default browser when they click the link provided, which improves the live video experience for each party. Whereby live video supports up to 100 attendees per session, including the host.

Prerequisites for Using Live Video
- Add a Scheduler stage to the workflow and name it Live Video, so it can easily be identified in your workflow.
- Turn on the Enable live video call toggle in the Live Video section.
- Once you enable live video, ensure you have availability on the Calendar. Scroll to the top and click Set Availability to go to the Calendar page.
Customizing Live Video Messages
The link to the live video stage can be shared with the applicant in the Confirmation and Reminder messages by inserting the merge key directly into the message body (SMS or email).
- Select Edit Message and then Edit SMS.
- Insert the text (Live Video Room:) and then select stage keys.
- Choose Live Video Room Link from the menu. This will automatically add the merge key to the SMS Confirmation message the applicant will receive.

Note
The steps mentioned above allow you to customize the Confirmation Message the applicant receives. In the event you’re not able to add the Merge Key to the live video Call Confirmation Message, the platform will automatically send the live video link to the applicant at the end of the message.
