Face Detection Proctoring
Face Detection Proctoring adds an extra layer of security by verifying the candidate’s presence before the assessment begins. This AI-powered feature ensures the webcam is functional and confirms that only one person is in front of the camera—helping you maintain test integrity from the very start.
🔍 What is Face Detection?
Face Detection is a pre-test verification step that uses AI to:
- Check that the candidate’s camera is active and working
- Confirm there’s a single human face in the frame before starting the test
⚙️ How It Works
When this setting is enabled:
- Candidates are prompted to capture a photo using their webcam.
- The system verifies that a clear image of one person is visible and the camera feed isn’t blank.
- Once validated, the candidate can move forward with the assessment.
✅ Candidates can retake the photo as many times as needed until a valid image is captured.
🔧 How to Enable Face Detection
- Navigate to your Assessment > Settings > Proctoring tab
- Check the box for Face Detection
- Click Save
👤 Candidate Experience
Candidates will see a straightforward camera interface where they can:
- Capture their image
- Retake the photo if needed
- Proceed with the test once the system detects a valid face
It’s a quick and seamless step that reinforces a secure testing process without disrupting the candidate journey.
🖼️ Viewing the Captured Image
The candidate’s photo is stored in the report under the “Profile picture” field in the Proctoring section. You can:
- Open the Candidate Report
- Scroll down to the Proctoring
- Click on the Profile picture to view the image
This gives you visual confirmation of the test-taker’s identity at the time of the assessment.
🔐 Key Considerations
- One-time check: Face Detection runs only once—right before the test starts.
- If you need ongoing monitoring, enable Live Video Proctoring instead.
- If both Face Detection and Live Video Proctoring are enabled, the system will default to Live Video Proctoring.
- The captured image is stored under Proctoring as the “Profile picture.”
By enabling Face Detection Proctoring, you’re adding a simple yet powerful layer of security—helping ensure that every assessment starts with confidence and integrity.
