Hi,

Thank You very much! So using the desktop You were using only single camera? I was confused because using laptop two cameras were needed;). Please confirm that You were using one camera.

"Your face, hands and keyboard have to be visible." it is quite hard to manage it with one camera I think hmm...

Hello @PatrykBe777 ,

I used one camera(Logitech: HD1080p. it has a clear resolution), connected to my desktop.

But, make sure the camera's wire is long enough for your hands, face and keyboard to be seen by the proctor.

I hope that helps!

[PatrykBe777]

Thank You so much. Sure I will wait, I think if so 2 external camers would be needed hmmm...

Here one additonal question comes to my mind, is it allowed to use monitor that works with 21:9 ???

Have a great day!

@Gineesh is right.
You may use any compatible workstation along with one wired external camera.
Please see additional information here

Ultrawide monitors are acceptable but at higher resolutions, you may see only a part of the VM (or a very small view of the VM). I recommend setting the resolution to Full HD while taking the exam.

Also, there is the factor, that this is a remote display, the higher the resolution, the better bandwidth you should have, correct?

[Gineesh]

There is some limit for display resolution i believe.

Check this:
https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/tr-remote-exams-preparation-ebook-f27382-202103-en.pdf

*Adjust display resolution. If the default resolution of your screen is
higher than 1920*1080, we recommend adjusting it to 1920*1080 for better
screen readability inside the exam environment. Leave the settings as is if
the default screen resolution is less than 1920*1080.*

nice seeing you in here @Gineesh

I have my son's laptop that is Asus vivobook, windows 11 has TPM and secureboot enabled, could not see in the UEFI how to disable them. any one have experienced usb failing to boot due to secureboot?

[Gineesh]

You too @Walid :)

I have experienced the same for another workstation and the workaround was using the old ISO.

(Ignore if you have already tried).

Again, it is recommended to use latest ISO as per guidelines but no choice, I used this old ISO to boot and completed 3x exams (after facing the secure boot issue with new ISO)

Thanks

Thank you @Gineesh

My pleasure. Please share if this is still good and able to proceed.
Maybe some of the moderators can advise if this is okay to proceed :)
