Virtual environment detection

Prevents the user from launching proctoring in a virtual machine. 

 

Use case: A candidate opens proctoring in a blank virtual machine (VM) without any additional software. In the proctoring system, all that's visible is the screen from the VM that was opened in the Google Chrome host machine, and the candidate is free to partake in unfair assessment activities. To prevent this, during the system check, we determine whether it's a virtual environment and the candidate cannot start the assessment.

USB device detection

The proctor obtains the list of devices during the system check stage. During the assessment, the system detects whether new devices are connected or old devices have been disconnected and sends an alert.

 

Use case: Before or during the assessment, a candidate decides to change his keyboard and gives it to their friend. The system displays information on the keyboards and other devices on the video report page.
