Install Interview Clozo on your Mac

Download the disk image

Start Free Trial first — the download needs a trial. Then use the private download link on your account page or in your trial-start email (on this page, signed in, the button below becomes Download for Mac). Your Mac saves a single file — InterviewClozo.dmg — into your Downloads folder. If your browser asks whether to keep it, choose Keep.

A .dmg is a disk image: a sealed container that holds the app, a bit like a zip file that macOS can open as a drive. It is not the app itself, which is exactly why there is a step 2.

Safari opens the disk image by itself. Chrome shows the file in its download bar — click it there. On a company network the download can sit at 0 % for a minute while it is scanned — leave it. If your company's browser says the file is blocked, open the same link in Safari.

Then sign in on the app. With your free trial started, that’s the step that sends your free copy of Never Take the First Offer, our salary negotiation book.

Drag Interview Clozo onto Applications

Double-click InterviewClozo.dmg. A window opens showing two things: the Interview Clozo app on the left, and a shortcut to your Applications folder on the right.

Press and hold on the app, drag it across onto the Applications folder in that same window, and let go. A short copy progress bar appears. That is the whole installation.

Eject the disk image, then open the app from Applications

In the Finder sidebar, click the small eject arrow next to “Interview Clozo”. Then open the Applications folder you dropped it into (in Finder: Go › Applications, or press ⇧⌘A; your own one is under Go › Home) and double-click Interview Clozo there.

Why this matters, and it really does: the copy inside the disk image lives on a temporary volume. Run that one and the app vanishes from under you the moment the image is ejected or your Mac restarts. Worse, macOS pins every privacy permission to the exact copy of the app that asked for it — so Microphone, Screen Recording and Accessibility switches you flip for the disk-image copy do not carry over to the one in Applications, and you get asked for all of them a second time. Install it properly once and you grant permissions once.

Open Interview Clozo

Double-click Interview Clozo in your Applications folder. Your Mac first checks the app for a few seconds. Then it stops with a message that Apple could not check it for malware.

That is expected. Interview Clozo is not yet notarized by Apple, so macOS asks once. Answer it once, as below, and it never asks again. It is not a virus finding.

Set Zoom's screen capture mode

One switch, set once, and Zoom keeps it for every meeting after it. Do it now rather than in the two minutes before a call — Zoom applies the change to the next meeting you join, not the one you are already in.

1. Open Zoom. Click your profile picture in the top-right corner, then Settings (or press ⌘,).
2. Choose Share Screen in the left-hand sidebar.
3. Click the Advanced button at the bottom of that pane.
4. Find Screen capture mode and set it to “Advanced capture with window filtering”.
5. Close Settings. There is no Save button — Zoom stores the choice the moment you pick it.

What you should see: a dropdown of capture modes, one of which is Advanced capture with window filtering. Pick that one. If it currently reads Previous operating systems, that is the legacy path and exactly what you are moving off. Zoom keeps the choice, so the pane shows it again next time you look.

Why it matters: this is Zoom's modern capture path, and it is the one that honours macOS window-level exclusions. On it, your cockpit is excluded from the share by macOS itself, at the window level — they share their screen, or you share yours, and the cockpit is not on it. The legacy mode predates that behaviour, which is why this switch is worth thirty seconds now instead of a surprise later.

Let the app finish setup — it takes over from here

That is the last thing this page asks of you. Interview Clozo greets you with its own guided setup and walks you through, in order:

• Sign in. You do not need to sign up first: your account is created from your checkout email when you Start Free Trial or buy a plan, and you sign in with it inside the app.
• Check your plan. The app shows the trial or plan you started on the website. The Trial is three interviews of up to 50 minutes each, run on the Monthly or Yearly plan you pick, so you can feel it work in a real round before the plan starts. Monthly is $199/month; Yearly is $999 a year. Both are covered by the Better Loop Guarantee — 14 days on Monthly, 30 on Yearly.
• Grant the macOS permissions, guided. A live checklist shows each permission's current status, has a one-tap button, and deep-links straight to the exact System Settings pane. Do them all now, once, and macOS never interrupts a live interview with a popup.
• See the powers. A short showcase lets you try each one on your own screen. Early on you press Live Meeting Time for the first time — free practice that never counts. You can replay it from Settings.
• Press each key once. The app checks that every shortcut key reaches it, so none fails you in a live interview.
• Add a résumé (optional, but do it). Drop in a PDF, a Word file, even a photo of your CV. Answers then cite your real projects, employers and numbers instead of inventing a career for you.
• Drive it, the guided tutorial. A hands-on run through every control you will actually use — hotkeys, panes, the panic key. It is free practice: it never spends one of your free interviews, and it remembers where you stop. Run it again any time from Settings.

Then, for every real interview, press Live Meeting Time. It is the one button on your dashboard that starts the cockpit. During the trial, only a meeting you start that way counts as one of your three interviews.
