Screen Recording

Capture what the candidate sees: periodic screenshots or continuous screen video, in strict entire-monitor mode or relaxed any-surface mode — with the browser support each choice implies.

Screen recording captures what the candidate sees during the exam — the other half of the proctoring picture. The webcam shows the person; the screen shows what they're actually doing.

Two Capture Methods

  • SCREENSHOT — periodic images at the interval you configure. Widest browser support and lowest bandwidth.
  • SCREENCAPTURE — continuous video in 60-second chunks (no audio — audio belongs to webcam video). Nothing between snapshots can be missed, at higher bandwidth cost.

Strict vs Relaxed Sharing

  • Strict — the candidate must share their entire monitor, and the browser must be able to verify that. Only desktop Chrome and Edge can; Firefox, Safari, and all mobile browsers fail the strict check.
  • Relaxed — any surface (window, tab, or screen) is accepted as long as the exam page is verifiably visible inside the shared stream. This admits Firefox and softens the guarantee: you see the exam window for certain, the rest of the screen only if they shared it.

Screen recording is desktop-only — phones and tablets have no screen-sharing capability, so enabling it excludes mobile candidates entirely. See Device Compatibility for the full matrix.

Reviewing Screen Material

Screen material streams into the live Exam Monitor and the post-exam review alongside webcam material. Note that AI Detections does not analyze screen content — reviewers flag screen findings manually (the review tools make this fast). If a candidate stops sharing mid-exam, they are routed back to the screen check to restore it before continuing.
