Is Google Interview Warmup still available?
No. Google retired Interview Warmup in April 2026, and the old address no longer opens the practice tool. The link now redirects to other Google career pages, and the page you land on can differ by country. If you want to answer interview questions aloud and get feedback today, you need a different tool.
Just One Interview is one independent option. It is not affiliated with Google, and it has its own account and practice flow.
When did Google Interview Warmup shut down?
Google retired the tool in April 2026. Before that, it had run for several years as a free browser page where you answered interview questions aloud and reviewed insights about your answers. The official Google launch post still describes what it did.
There was no replacement from Google at the time of writing. The company folded the old address into its wider career pages instead of pointing it at a new practice tool.
What happens when you open the old link now?
You get redirected. Depending on your location, the old address can land on a careers advice page or a regional Grow with Google page. Nothing on those pages lets you answer a question aloud or see feedback on an answer.
If you reach a page that calls itself Interview Warmup and asks for payment details, close it. The original tool was free and never asked for a card. The Interview Warmup website guide explains where the real addresses point now.
What did the tool actually do?
It asked interview questions one at a time, let you answer by speaking or typing, and then showed patterns in your answers, such as the terms you used most. It grouped questions into a small set of career areas tied to Google's career certificates, with a general set for everyone else.
Its limits were part of the design. It did not score answers, it did not ask follow-up questions, and it did not simulate a full interview. It was a warmup, and for that job it was liked.
Where can you practise aloud today?
You have two honest options. The first is a self guided drill with no tool at all: pick one question, answer it aloud, review it against a short rubric, and answer it again. The ten minute practice routine gives you that structure.
The second is an AI led round. In Just One Interview, Practice generates questions from a role and skills you choose, listens to your spoken answers, and gives you a report with coaching feedback afterwards. The free plan includes 20 minutes of practice a month.

Does losing the tool change how you should prepare?
No. The habit the tool taught is the part worth keeping: say your answers out loud before someone important hears them. Reading an answer in your head hides the pauses, the filler, and the missing facts. Speaking exposes them while the stakes are still zero.
Keep the habit with whatever you have. A phone voice note works. A structured warmup on your phone works better, because you also get a review step.
