You'd be crazy not to have the answers to a few technicals that you have trouble with that you expect you might hear in front of you in some form or another
During phone interviews I'd generally lay out the answers to a couple questions. 90% of the time I never even looked at the paper except it gave me an extra boost of confidence knowing it was there in front of me.
Absolutely have them there in case of emergency. The trick is to be smart and careful about glancing at the if necessary and not making it too obvious. Just put up key words in order to avoid reading even if you panic.
Redacted, that's my fear. If they catch on to it they may make me lift up my cam and show them my room, its happened even though I wasn't looking at anything. They didn't seem to mind the mess haha.
If I were to do it, monkeys, I minimize the skype window, and have the answers on the screen, just as Redactected mentioned, use keywords. Additionally, if you want you can glue them around the edges of your screen so long as they wont be flopping into your webcam. Furthermore, if you have a separate webcam place the webcam against a wall were by, you can post the answers around them.
I thought about it even though i decided against it.
You've actually had someone on a webcam interview tell you to show them around the room to make sure you didn't have materials handy?
If you're not cheating you're not winning
If it makes you feel anxious for whatever reason don't do it
That said I think it is a good idea
With the people I have interviewed I could care less if they got the brain teaser questions correct or not. It's more about the process. If someone got an "incorrect" answer but had a new or creative way about reaching that answer that was far more interesting to me than someone who got the correct answer and did it in the safe and predictable way. Maybe that's just me but the safe way is boring.
I should have done it.
Do the interview pants-less.
