## Key takeaways

- A short drop reconnects on its own. The call shows Reconnecting and nothing already sent is lost.
- If the call drops, press Rejoin within 10 minutes. You carry on in the same interview where you stopped.
- The interview clock keeps running while you are away, and the call still stops at the fund's time limit.
- If the call can't get through, Record in my browser carries on in the same interview without using a retry.
- If a session fails for a technical reason, the fund may offer one retry from the start.

The interview is recorded as it happens, so a crashed browser or a lost connection doesn't lose what you already said.

## A short drop

The call shows **Connection unstable. Reconnecting** and carries on by itself when the connection comes back. Keep talking.

## The call dropped

You see **Connection lost** with a countdown. Press **Rejoin** before it reaches zero, within 10 minutes of the drop. You go back into the same call.

If you closed or reloaded the page, open **Interview** in your workspace on the fund's portal and press **Rejoin**. The page says **Your interview is still open**. Press **Rejoin**, then allow the camera, microphone and screen again.

The clock keeps running while you are away. The time left at the top of the call is the real time left.

## Your network blocks the call

Some office networks block video calls. If the connection check or the call can't get through, or the call drops and won't come back, the page offers **Record in my browser**. Your browser records the interview and uploads it as you go; keep the page open at the end until **Uploading the last of your recording** finishes.

Switching in the middle of the interview keeps the same interview: the clock keeps running, nothing you already said is lost, and it doesn't use up a retry. Once you record in your browser, the interview stays that way until the end.

In this mode the interviewer can't speak, so the fund's questions show in writing after your pitch, next to the time left and the time on your current answer. Read each question, answer out loud, then press **Next question**. Questions the interviewer already asked before you switched aren't asked again, and questions that no longer fit in the time left are skipped. After the last question, add anything else you want the fund to know and press **End**.

If the page reloads while you record in your browser, open **Interview** again and press **Rejoin**. The recording carries on from where the upload stopped, and what was already uploaded is kept. A few seconds that hadn't finished uploading before the reload may be missing.

## A failed session

If the system records a technical failure, the page says **This session stopped for a technical reason**. The fund may allow one retry: you then see **Your last session stopped for a technical reason. You can take the interview once more, from the start.** A retry is only for technical failures, never to improve your answers.

## Frequently asked questions

### What if more than 10 minutes pass?
The rejoin window closes and the fund sees that the session dropped. Contact the fund if you want to ask about another attempt.

### Will the fund see that I dropped?
Yes. The recording shows where the connection dropped and where you rejoined.
