How it works

  1. 1

    Download the Windows installer

    Get the .exe (typical install) or .msi (quiet/enterprise install) and run setup.

  2. 2

    Sign in with your hCalls account

    Use the same account as web and extension so credits follow you.

  3. 3

    Launch before your interview

    Start a session, confirm audio, and keep the HUD off shared windows.

Best for

  • Live coding and IDE screen shares on Windows

Everything You Want to Ask
Before You Buy

Setup, privacy, speed, and platform questions - answered directly.

Is the Windows app free to try?

Yes. Create a free hCalls account (50 credits, no card), then download the Windows installer and sign in.

How does the Windows overlay stay out of screen share?

The desktop HUD uses OS-level window display affinity so supported screen-sharing and recording tools do not capture the overlay. Always test with your meeting app’s share preview.

Do I still need Chrome for Windows?

No. The desktop app is a separate install. Chrome extension and Web Copilot remain available if you prefer browser workflows.

What Windows versions are supported?

Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit) are supported for the current installer.
