I had my answer by chat: "Glass wall should not be transparent completely".

[PetrCihlar]

In case the meeting room has pure transparent glass walls, you can perhaps cover them with a blanket or something. It is up to the proctor if he/she allows the exam to run

My exam is scheduled for day after tomorrow.

The FAQ says, "Choose a quiet, private location where you will not be disturbed for the duration of the exam. Your desk should be clear of everything except your exam hardware. Unplug and turn off any additional monitors, displays, computers, or other hardware in your workspace. Remove any pictures, whiteboards, or items on the wall with writing on them. The proctor will inspect your workspace prior to the start of the exam and you will be asked to remove any items that do not pass the room scan. "

The room I would like to use is mostly empty with the exception of a wall of board games. Emptying the shelves and putting them back later would be a chore. The other walls in the room are empty and I can face away from the shelves. Will the games be an issue?

When I took my exam, I had a note from one of my kids on a whiteboard on the wall that I didn't want to erase.  I was allowed to tape some blank pieces of paper over it so that it wasn't visible.  You might be able to do something similar if they have a problem, but they didn't object to the books on my bookshelf that wasn't in reach, so as long as the wall of games is far enough away that you can't access them it might be OK as well.

Thanks, I'll see if I can find a blanket big enough to throw over it just
in case.

Hello, I have a laptop for the exam but exam iso doesn't see microphone and speaker. I also have my personal laptop but it's keyboard doesn't work and I don't have a monitor since using external keyboard requires secondary display device. So I decided to go with laptop 1. But i need exam supported external microphone and speaker. Do you know any exam iso compatible devices that i can buy?

Anything webcam that is marked as having Linux work will work (Ideally, you would have a webcam that auto-focus). Personally, I have good success with Logitech webcams.

Hello @Sandybrar !

Do you mean the display resolution ? You can change the setting during the ISO exam boot when you are presented with setting your network, sound, mouse etc under resolution / display : you can choose 200% or 300%.

For the browser resolution where you get the questions, you can do so by clicking the zoom option  ( Click the menu button on the right end in your browser tab. The Firefox menu will open, and you will see the zoom controls at the bottom )
