Session Recording is one of Equip’s proctoring measures. It captures the candidate’s screen and interactions while they attempt a test, so you can later replay the attempt exactly as the candidate experienced it.

​
What Gets Recorded

​
Turn On Session Recording

Session Recording is controlled per test through the Record User Session toggle in Proctoring Settings.
1

Open the Test Order tab

In your assessment’s settings, go to the Test Order tab.
2

Edit the test's settings and toggle Record User Session

Click Edit Settings on the test you want to change. Turn Record User Session on or off, then click Save Settings.
Session Recording is on by default for most test types. It is off by default for Excel tests, and locked off for video-based test types such as Video Response, where the candidate is already on camera.
AI Interviews support the same proctoring options as assessments. When Session Recording is enabled, the interview report includes a session-recording tab as well.

​
Playback

To watch a recording, click a candidate’s score on the Results page to open their report, then open the Session Recording tab and press Play. The player can speed up playback and skip sections where there is no activity.
If a candidate’s Trust Score looks suspicious, watch their recording before making a decision.
Playback is also the fastest way to verify a candidate’s report of a technical issue, such as a question that did not load. If you need Equip’s help, email hello@equip.co with the Session Recording URL and the time range where the issue appears, for example “1:05 to 1:20”.
