When to Disable

Camera and mic tracking is not always necessary, for example on low-stakes screens or when candidates are uneasy granting camera access.
Equip’s Psychometric tests already keep camera and mic tracking off by default, and video response tests keep the camera options off by default.

​
How to Disable

Camera and mic tracking can be turned off on any test, whether it uses Equip’s content or your own, and on AI interviews. The ATS has no camera or mic proctoring.

​
For assessments

1

Open the assessment's settings

Open the assessment’s settings and select the Test Order tab.
2

Edit the test's proctoring settings

Click Edit Settings on the test you want to change.
Proctoring Settings for Quiz dialog with Enable All and Disable All links and a list of toggles. Detect Audio, Detect Face, Detect Suspicious Objects, Take Random Photos and Capture Photo Before Start Test are unchecked, while Detect Switched Tab, Switched Tab Screenshot, Prevent Multiple Monitors and Enforce Full Screen stay checked, with the list scrolling under a footer of Cancel and Save Settings buttons

3

Turn off the camera and mic toggles

Switch off Detect Audio, Detect Face, Take Random Photos, and Capture Photo Before Start Test. Click Save Settings, then Update.
These settings apply per test, not per assessment. If your assessment has multiple tests, repeat the steps for each test where you want camera and mic tracking off.

​
For AI interviews

Open the interview’s settings from AI Interviews. The same proctoring toggles sit in a collapsible Proctoring Settings section, closed by default.
With Require camera off, candidates are still asked for camera access while Detect Face, Take Random Photos or Capture Photo Before Start Test is on. Turn those off too to skip the camera entirely.

​
Impact on the Proctoring Report

The Proctoring tab of the candidate report will not contain face-detection photos, random photos, a pre-test photo, or audio recordings for that test, because that evidence is never captured. A conversational interview with Require camera off is audio-only and records no video.
The report still shows a Trust Score for the attempt. With fewer signals being tracked, review the score together with the remaining evidence rather than in isolation.
