Use VS Code in Interviews

Toggle to the VS Code IDE and make use of the terminal, packages, themes, and more.

In addition to our default code editor, whiteboard, and spreadsheet, you can now toggle to a VS Code editor (beta) during Interviews.

While VS Code editor (beta) does not currently include the ability to import custom questions, it is recommended to use for the following use cases:

  • Opening Github repos via URL
  • Launching multiple terminals
  • Installing arbitrary packages and libraries
  • Running front-end or back-end interviews that require a server
