Add-On Feature

Live video is an add-on feature and is not included in any base subscription to Fountain. Please contact your designated CSM (Customer Success Manager) or support@fountain.com to enable it to your account.

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.

    4. Select Save Message and this Confirmation message along with the merge key will be included in the SMS message.

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.

Messages in Live Video
