Free technical interview coding tool
ShareCodeLive is a free technical interview coding tool that runs live coding interviews in the browser. The interviewer and the candidate share a real-time collaborative code editor, an online compiler for JavaScript, Python, and C++, a shared whiteboard for system design, team chat, and an AI assistant. No account is required to start or join an ad-hoc interview session.
Live collaborative editor
Watch the candidate type, delete, and retype. Both of you edit the same file in real time, no screen sharing.
Online compiler in the browser
Run JavaScript, Python, and C++ instantly. The candidate and you see the same output without an install.
Shared whiteboard
Sketch data structures and system design next to the code, in the same window as the compiler.
No signup required
Send a link or a workspace ID. The candidate opens it in a browser and is in the editor in seconds.
What does ShareCodeLive include for interviewers?
The editor, compiler, whiteboard, chat, and AI assistant all live in one window, so an interview does not mean juggling three tabs. The candidate opens a link in the browser, picks a language, and starts coding. You watch their cursor in real time, run the code together, and use the whiteboard for design questions. For teams that have been paying per seat for an interview platform, ShareCodeLive covers the same workflow at no cost.
How does a live coding interview work here?
Open a session, share the link, and both people join the same editor. The candidate writes and runs code while you observe and add hints through the chat. The compiler tells you both whether the code runs, the whiteboard captures the design thinking before the code, and the AI assistant is available to explain unfamiliar snippets. At the end you can download the code or save the workspace by signing in.
Frequently asked questions
How do I start a live coding interview for free?
Open the editor in your browser, grab the workspace link from the top of the editor, and send it to the candidate. They open it and join the session. No account is needed for an ad-hoc interview.Which programming languages can candidates run?
The online compiler runs JavaScript, Python, and C++ in the browser. Syntax highlighting is available for most other popular languages, including Java, Go, TypeScript, and Ruby.Does the interview tool work for system design rounds?
Yes. The shared whiteboard sits alongside the editor, so a candidate can sketch a system design and then implement part of it in code in the same session.Can the candidate use the AI assistant during the interview?
You decide. The AI assistant is built in and can explain library functions or refactor snippets. Watching how a candidate asks the assistant a question is often a useful signal in itself.Do I need to install anything to run an interview?
No. ShareCodeLive runs in the browser. The interviewer and the candidate both open a link, with no install and no account for ad-hoc sessions.Run your next interview for free
