# Secure Browser

Talview's application runs in modern web browsers or via the Secure Browser (SB). SB is compatible with both Windows and macOS.

## Availability

Supported on Windows and macOS. **Not supported on Linux** — Linux users must use standard browser-based assessments (non-SB mode).

## Installation considerations

Organization-managed devices may block SB via policy restrictions or admin lockout — coordinate with IT teams in advance to allow installation and updates. Users must have **administrator privileges** to install and auto-update SB, and must grant **Camera**, **Microphone**, and **Screen Recording** permissions before launching SB.

## Auto-update behavior

Checks for updates at each launch, then downloads and installs the latest version automatically before the test.

## Granting device permissions

**Windows:** Settings → Privacy → Camera / Microphone / Screen Recording.
**macOS:** System Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera / Microphone / Screen Recording, and manually enable access for Secure Browser.

Failure to grant permissions will prevent exam sessions from launching successfully.
