I have a Macbook Pro laptop which has in built good camera. But Still, a webcam is mandatory?

[PetrCihlar]

yes, mandatory. Internal camera is not needed. External one is mandatory. 

[Compo]

It's not the quality of the camera that's the issue, it's that an external camera isn't fixed, it can be re-positioned.

Thanks for the information you provided here.

I use to connect my laptop to a 20+ screen to do daily routines and practise for my planed certificate. This helps me to keep having highly focused with good overall insight even on my daily routine computer work and to avoid loosing track of my work since the laptop has a small screen.

Is it allowed in the exam?

Hi @raf-san ,

You are only allowed to use one monitor, one keyboard and one external mouse. If you chose to connect an external monitor to your laptop, the laptop lid must be closed throughout the duration of the exam session. You will be required to use a wired keyboard and a wired mouse.
