Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before.  My laptop keyboard is broken right now, so I use an external keyboard,

But I would need my laptop open for the second camera so I could use the screen there too rather than an external monitor, so I m stuck on the only one keyboard issue. Is that a hard requirement?

Thanks

Pat

Hi @Pat3 ,

Only one external camera is needed for the remote exam. A second camera is just a bonus for the exam proctor and is not mandatory.
However, you are only allowed to use a single screen and a single keyboard for your remote exam. If you are using an external keyboard, the laptop lid will need to be closed.

Hope that helps.

I'm using a desktop setup for my examination, so should I have 2 external cameras?

Hi, No. It says here:

• Webcam: One external webcam, even if your laptop has one built-in, with at least a 1m cable.

Hi there,

Speakers are not a requirement for remote exams. The proctor will communicate with you via a chat applet within the exam environment.
However, a microphone is needed to transmit your audio to the proctors. If your internal mic also has problems, you can use a wired microphone/headset (via jack or USB) and leave it on the work table. (Your exam proctor will guide on the camera & mic placement).

Hi. Can i use a wired/bluetooth external microphone and speaker device during the exam? It's the Anker PowerConf device in particular.

The microphone and speaker volume on my laptop is rather soft even when put to maximum, thus would like to find out if i can use an external speaker and microphone. 

Thank you.
