# Why it’s a safer choice to use a personal device?

Company-managed (corporate) devices often have restrictions that can interfere with proctored exams, such as blocking camera/mic access, preventing screen sharing, or disabling required browser features.

## ✅ Why use a personal device?

| **Corporate device risks** | **Personal device advantages**           |
| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| Camera/mic blocked by IT   | Full access to hardware permissions      |
| Screen sharing disabled    | Screen share works with no admin blocks  |
| Browser updates restricted | You can update or change browsers easily |

<Info>
  **Setup tips for personal devices**

  * Use **Chrome**, **Edge**, or **Firefox** (latest version)
  * Allow browser permissions for **camera**, **microphone**, and **screen sharing**
  * Ensure you're not on a restricted **work network** (e.g., VPN or proxy)
