Environment Setup
Proper Desk and Chair Setup for Test
During your online assessment or interview, your environment is monitored. Using the wrong desk or chair setup may lead to warnings, interruptions, or even disqualification. A proper setup ensures your face is clearly visible and you remain in frame.
✅ Common Issues and Fixes
| What Might Be Wrong | What You Can Do |
|---|---|
| Sitting on a bed, floor, or couch | Use a proper desk and chair with back support |
| Camera is below or above face level | Place your laptop on books to keep the webcam at eye level |
| Leaning back or slouching | Sit upright and centered in front of the camera |
| Constant movement or turning away | Keep your body and face still and visible throughout the session |
| Background distractions or clutter | Choose a quiet, clean space with minimal movement behind you |
📚 Additional Tips
- Use a chair with a straight back, not a beanbag or stool
- Keep your feet flat and posture relaxed but upright
- Do not place your laptop on your lap — use a stable surface
🌐 Final Check: Webcam Preview
Before your test or interview:- Open your webcam preview or Talview system check
- Make sure your face and shoulders are centered and well-lit
- Adjust your seat height or laptop angle if needed
