Does it work on HackerRank, CodeSignal, LeetCode and other assessment sites?
Yes — screenshots work with whatever is on your screen, in any browser or app. For written or coding tests where nobody is talking, you don't need audio at all.
I have more than one monitor
Screenshots capture your main display by default — keep the problem there, or pick the display to capture in the app.
Can it read code pasted into the meeting chat?
Only if it's visible on your screen — open the chat and take a screenshot.
