How Verified Call works on a video call, a 26 second illustrated film
An illustrated video call with Sam, Alex and the host. Sam and Alex show a green Verified shield. Kai joins and their shield turns amber: Faces don't match. The host clicks the alert and the Verified checks panel shows the face their camera captures next to the face in the call. Then the host opens the Verified panel from the shield in the bottom bar. The panel names a hidden AI interview helper open on Alex's screen, in a window that screen sharing can't see, with proof. Verified Call never joins the call.
What Verified Call watches for
Hidden AI tools
AI answer helpers that hide from screen sharing.
Deepfakes and face swaps
Someone else’s face put over the real one.
AI avatars
A computer-made person in place of a real one.
Camera software
Apps that play a recording or another face into the call.
Someone else answering
A different person speaking than the one who was checked.
Why Verified Call
A verified call is a video call where each person is checked before and during the call, on their own computer and against the call itself, without a bot joining. Verified Call does this inside Google Meet.
It checks both sides
The app on the guest’s computer sees what the call can’t: AI tools hidden from screen sharing and camera software in place of a real webcam. It compares the face in the call with that person’s own camera, and their voice with their reading at the start.
It never joins the call
No bot in the participant list and no new platform. Each person gets a badge in the Google Meet you already use.
Before and during
Each guest is checked before the call starts and all the way through it. Nothing is carried over from one call to the next.
Proof, false alarms included

Frequently asked questions
A verified call is a video call where each person is checked before and during the call, on their own computer and against the call itself, without a bot joining. Verified Call does this for Google Meet: each person gets a badge, and the host sees the proof behind every result.
Check the candidate’s own computer, because these tools hide from screen sharing. The Verified app on the candidate’s Mac or Windows PC finds windows hidden from screen sharing and names known AI interview tools. The host sees “used during this call” only with proof. In our own testing it found each of 4 hidden AI tools in 30 of 30 tries, with 0 of 30 false alarms.
A face swap usually reaches the call through camera software. Verified Call checks whether the video comes from a real webcam or from camera software, and compares the face in the call with the face on the person’s own camera. On recordings of 70 people, 0 of 3,990 sessions with someone else’s face got through.

No. Verified Call never joins your call, so there is no bot in the participant list. It checks from outside the call and shows the result in Google Meet.
In our own testing it found each of 4 hidden AI tools in 30 of 30 tries. On recordings of 70 people, 0 of 3,990 sessions with someone else’s face got through, and 99.2% of sessions with the real person were cleared (962 of 970). Results are advice for the host, not a verdict on a person. Every number, with how it was tested, is on the Research page.
Open the Verified desktop app from the email link, on a Mac with Apple silicon or a Windows PC. A few quick checks take about five minutes, then they join the call. The link opens 10 minutes before the call.
A small shield badge next to each person in Google Meet, and a Verified panel with the details. It reads Verified when the checks pass, and Can't confirm when something could not be confirmed.
It is a read for the host, not a verdict. A person can decline the check and still join; the host sees that they declined.
The face numbers come from recordings of 70 people on public research video: 0 of 3,990 sessions with someone else’s face got through, and 962 of 970 sessions with the real person were cleared. Camera tricks: 29 of 29 on every way of sending video we tested, and 20 of 20 live Google Meet calls read right. Hidden AI tools: 30 of 30 caught, each of 4 tools, in our own testing; device support is confirmed with you when you join the beta. The full detail is on the research page.
Google Meet in Chrome for the host. Guests use the Verified desktop app on a Mac with Apple silicon or a Windows PC.
