    My daughter had to write a university paper once. They required two cameras to be running. One atop the screen like you use for meetings, and one showing the whole desk and the tested person.

      Redhat would randomly interrupt me your test and ask you to stand up, pick up the camera and show the room

        Privacy invasion. I doubt that would hold water in the EU.
        Also, do we really want to normalize mandatory cameras broadcasting from people’s homes? Where’s the outrage?

        It’s really useless too. If I wanted to cheat on a test so fucking bad, I’d learn to read braille and just stick reference material under my desk.

          I’d clone my monitor to a second monitor in another room and then use an AirPod or something similar to communicate with someone searching for the answers using the second screen and a second device.

            When I did those tests, checking your ears was a required step. Plenty of other subtle ways to communicate though

            There was an actual person that went through a checklist when I had to do my online stuff. They would look at graphics settings and things like xbox bars and such. I guess some people can get really creative. It was irritating having to have a ‘clean’ account so they wouldn’t get access to anything that I wanted private.
