Hi, thanks for your advice.

I tried to improve my room the id still couldn't be readable and I also don't have magnifying glass, so I tried using my camera phone to zoom the id card, then point my webcam to my phone. and the result is my id could be readable. Is it allowed ?

It depends on the proctor. Lets ask @AnithaRaaji . She could know

Hi,

You can use the laptop Integrated camera for the ID verification. If your exam setup is laptop(which has inbuilt camera enabled) and an external camera, you can use the in built for ID verification since the external camera does not auto focus on text. Again using Mobile to zoom in the text may not be allowed and it depends on the Proctor's decision.

Hi @AnithaRaaji 

Yesterday, I tried using laptop but got stuck after load usb into memory. I don't know how to resolve it. So probably the possible way to use my pc with the phone camera zoom the ID card. Do you have any advice?

[AnithaRaaji]

Hi,

Yes, you can use it or magnifying glass or glass of water to enlarge the text. I would suggest you to contact Remote Exam readiness team for more information. Make sure you have an external camera connected and working as well.

Hi Patryk
Some internal devices got disconnected after you connected a docking station? Asking if others experienced the same?
Not having enough information, I try to share my opinion.
I assume you reffer to using an external docking statin. The dock usually combines many input/output ports so requires big transfer speeds. Since several years, laptops do not have dock specialised port usualy located at the bottom. They use USB 3 or more often Thunderbolt protocol running in USB-C - like socket.
The reason some devices do not work over or whwn connection the external thunderbolt dock is that Fedora is not properly compatible with the thunderbolt protocol and supplies the dock with only USB speed. Therefore, come connected devices cannot work.
I would not use the external dock, I would use individual USB adapters and connect Network using this. Also, Display port to connect the external monitor is better than HDMI. But it depends on the wiring. Simply, connect those all devices you have directly to the USB of the laptop, use USB hub and avoid any Thunderbolt conversion your external dock is probably using.
