Using a Personal Device – Why it’s a safer choice
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 |
💡 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)
