That functionality alone, I don't find terrifying. It's what allows web-based video-conferencing with screen sharing. However, I'd consider this an abuse of it, you should not be pressured into giving consent to do that as part of a job application.

The same goes with the terrible online testing platforms that have grown in use during COVID. They're terrible, ineffective, and an invasion in privacy.
