Follow the instructions to record your audio and capture your base image.

Recording Audio allows you to test the clarity and quality of your audio equipment and ensure that your microphone is functioning properly. In case of any issues, you can address and resolve them before the interview starts.
Taking a photo provides a reference image for verification purposes, helping the interviewer confirm your identity. It lets you present your best self by ensuring you are appropriately dressed and groomed for the interview.

Note: If the host interviewer hasn't started the interview yet, you will be asked to wait until the host starts the interview.
