If you’re getting ready for an interview or a proctored assessment, you’ll need a working camera. You can use either the camera that comes built into your laptop or an external webcam. But from our experience, built-in cameras usually work better and cause fewer issues. This guide explains why built-in cameras work better, and what to do if you’re using an external webcam.

🔍 How to Check Your Camera Before Starting

You can use this system check before your test or interview. It will check your camera. To avoid any issues:
  1. Make sure only one camera is connected.
  2. If you have both a built-in and external camera, the system may ask you to choose one.
  3. Pick the built-in one (it may show as “Integrated Camera” or “Laptop Camera”).
If your camera isn’t working, don’t start the test yet - try fixing it first.

📌 When to Use an External Camera

You can use an external camera if:
  • Your laptop camera is broken or blocked
  • You need better video quality
  • You’re using a desktop that doesn’t have a built-in camera
Just make sure it’s connected properly and selected in your browser settings.
