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.

AI access — usually nothing to do

Saving an AI provider key on the account page

If you have full access, skip this step. Inference is included in your purchase — the platform supplies the AI, and there is no key to create and no usage to pay for.

Otherwise this step is required, or the app will start with AI disabled. Go to Account → API keys, pick a provider, paste the key, and save. Do it once: every device linked to your account picks it up, so a reinstall or a second machine needs no setup.

Three providers are supported:

  • Groq — free tier, fastest responses. The usual choice.
  • OpenAI — paid, billed by them.
  • OpenRouter — one key, many models.

Keys are encrypted before they are stored and are never shown back to you in full. You can save more than one and choose which to prefer.

Sign the app in to your account

Signing the desktop app in to your Unviewable account

Launch the app and choose Sign in. Your browser opens, you approve the device, and the app is linked to your account.

This is what connects the app to whatever you set up in the previous step — your saved provider key, or platform-funded access if you have full access. The app never holds the key itself: it asks your account, and the key is read and decrypted server-side on each request.

So there is nothing to paste into a config file and no environment variable to set. config.ini still exists for preferences — AI model, font size, panel opacity, hotkeys — but it no longer holds credentials.

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'
The app is not signed in, or your account has no key saved and no full access. Choose Sign in inside the app to link it to your account. If you do not have full access, save a Groq, OpenAI or OpenRouter key on your account page - the app reads it from there. Setting a GROQ_API_KEY environment variable or editing config.ini no longer has any effect; credentials moved to the account key vault.
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.
