This is a mandatory step. Please follow this guide to enable all necessary permissions before your scheduled exam time to prevent any delays. Permissions must be enabled in two places:

1. Your Computer's Operating System (Windows or macOS)

2. Your Web Browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.)

Part 1: Operating System Permissions

First, you must ensure your browser has permission to access your hardware at the system level. For Windows 10 & 11 Laptops(Applies to all brands like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer, Asus, etc.)

You need to check the settings for both the camera and the microphone separately.

1. Open Settings by clicking the Start Menu and selecting the gear icon, or by pressing Windows Key + I.

2. Go to Privacy & Security.

3. Under App permissions, select Camera.

4. Ensure that "Camera access" at the top is turned On.
