## Proview (Proctoring) Updates

### Attendee Experience

* **Extended proctored session** : Proctor can now extend a session for a candidate on need basis. When the proctor extends a proctored session, the candidate receives a message in chat. This message includes the time in minutes the session has been extended by, and the reason for extension.

* **Custom streaming re-connection** : When test taker’s primary or secondary camera gets disconnected, usually due to bad network quality, our system automatically tries to reconnect within 1 minute. If reconnection fails within 1 minute, then error is shown to test taker. This helps in reducing disconnections unnecessarily and improve user experience.
* **Upload image on chat for assistance from Alvy (AI Proctor Agent)** : Test taker will now be able to upload images to chat window and get inputs from Alvy assist on preflight check issues they maybe facing.
* **Increased Maximum File Size for Photo ID**: The maximum file size for Photo ID uploads has been increased from **1MB to 3MB**, allowing users to upload higher-quality images.
* **New Configuration Option: Disable Face Detection Model**: A new configuration allows clients to disable the face detection model. By default, the model is enabled.
