What do the Proctoring Settings Mean?

1. Detect Audio: Record noise and audio cues in the background.
2. Detect Face: Capture a photo if the camera detects no faces (no face in the camera view or candidate covers the camera) or multiple faces.
3. Detect Switched Tab: When a user switches to a different tab/application, we detect this.
4. Switched Tab Screenshot: When a user switches to a different tab/application, capture a screenshot (Works on Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox browsers for Desktop).
5. Take Random Photos: Capture a few photos of the candidate throughout the test.
6. Detect Multiple Monitors: Detect if the candidate is connected to more than one monitor.
7. Capture Photo Before Start Test: Take a photo of the candidate's face before every test starts. For the first test, it is enabled by default.
8. Enforce Full Screen: Candidates cannot take the test without entering full-screen mode when this is enabled. Recommended to avoid tab switching and cheating.
9. Enforce Desktop: Candidates can use only desktop to take the test. Useful if you are conducting coding challenges which requires the user to have a large screen to work with.
10. Record User Session: Records the candidate's screens and actions (mouse clicks, keyboard typing), as they attempt the test.
11. Auxiliary Device: Candidate will have to pair their phone to their computer to take the test.
