Install & run

Setup guide

Welcome to your AI meeting assistant. Install the invisible overlay and start leveraging real-time intelligence in your meetings and interviews.

Download the application

Download the Unviewable application

Head to the downloads page and grab the latest release. Extract the folder to a permanent location like Documents or Desktop.

The download is a single portable folder — no installer wizard, no system-wide dependencies. Everything Unviewable needs lives inside the extracted directory.

Get your Groq API key

Groq Console API key generation page

Sign up for free at console.groq.com. Navigate to API Keys in the sidebar and click Create API Key. Copy the key — you'll need it in the next step.

Groq's free tier includes generous rate limits, more than enough for live meetings and interviews.

Configure the app

Configuring the API key via terminal or config.ini

Set your API key using either method.

Option A — Environment variable. Open a terminal and run:

setx GROQ_API_KEY "your-api-key-here"

Option B — Config file. Open config.ini in the app folder and paste your key into the api_key field under [General].

You can also tweak the AI model, font size, panel opacity, and other behaviour from the same config.ini.

Launch the app

Launching Unviewable with hotkey

Double-click InvisibleOverlay.exe to start. The overlay attaches to your display and becomes invisible to screen-capture tools immediately. You'll see a system tray icon confirming it's running.

The app starts listening to system audio automatically — no virtual cables, no extra setup needed.

All set? Head to the usage guide to learn hotkeys, best practices, and how to get the most out of the AI during live sessions.

Troubleshooting

Common questions

My antivirus flagged the app
Invisible overlays sometimes trigger false positives due to screen-reading behavior and capture-exclusion APIs. Add InvisibleOverlay.exe to your antivirus whitelist and re-run the setup.
The app says 'No API key — AI features disabled'
Your Groq API key isn't being detected. Make sure you either set the GROQ_API_KEY environment variable (restart your terminal after running setx) or pasted the key into config.ini under the [General] section.
Windows SmartScreen is blocking the download
Click "More info" on the SmartScreen prompt, then click "Run anyway". This happens because the app is new and hasn't been signed with an EV certificate yet.
Is it really invisible to screen share?
Yes. Unviewable uses the Windows DWM API (SetWindowDisplayAffinity with WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE). This tells the operating system's compositor to exclude the window from all DXGI-based capture pipelines — Zoom, Teams, Discord, OBS, and any other tool that uses screen capture.
