Can I use mobile phone for internet connectivity in exam.

[Gineesh]

You can use it but it is not recommended due to multiple reasons.
- We know the stability issues of mobile data
- You are not allowed to keep the mobile nearby!
- What if you get calls during the exam? (yes you can mute it but the data
connection may break)

So try to attend the exam with a stable internet connection..

Hello,  Is it ok take exam only with laptop integrated camera, which is very clear in reading text.

[Gineesh]

I think the integrated webcam cannot cover you and the workstation. The
requirement is to cover the student and the workstation so that the "exam
will be more transparent"

So you really need an external webcam. (No change I believe)

Hi,

Can I use a docking station USB-C where I will connect the usb key, the ethernet cable and the monitor?

[vishals]

Hi @mirk ,

Yes, a docking station or a USB hub can be used during the exam.

My system integrated microphone and speaker is not working with LiveUSB (exam OS or rhrexboot.iso) only. It is working good with Windows and Fedora as well. Could you please fix this driver issue asap in the image.

Hi Rakesh,

You get this issue when  your integrated mic/speakers are not compatible with exam iso. You May try connecting an External camera and verify the mic settings by booting from usb stick >> go to Settings >> Sound>> input devices and test the mic displayed and the volume. You may also try connecting a wired headphones and place it on desk.

Can I use an external mic and external speaker? My audio is not working at all once booted into the exam environment. Everything passes the compatibility checks.

[Mostafa1]

Yes you can.
Some Cameras have a microphone.
Just ensure you have the enough number of needed ports.
For USB ports, if they are not enough, you can use USB Hub.
