At YouTestMe, the Equipment Check feature ensures all necessary tech components are functioning optimally. This involves a systematic checklist tailored to specific requirements. Components such as the browser, network connectivity, camera, microphone, and screen undergo thorough verification to guarantee seamless operation.
All metrics can be tailored to specific scenarios and can be disabled as per customization preferences.

Manual face photography (face)
Includes the stage of photographing the face by the student. The taken photo is compared with the photo of the face from the participant’s profile. The result of the comparison is either saved in the session card or blocks the transition.Manual photography of the passport (passport)
Includes the step of photographing an identity document by the student. The taken photo is compared with the photo of the ID from the participant’s profile. The result of the comparison is either saved in the session card or blocks the transition to the next step in case of a mismatch when the "verify" add-on is enabled.Upload a scanned copy of the passport (scan)
Includes the step of uploading the scan of the identifying document by the student. The taken photo is compared with the photo of the scan from the participant’s profile. The result of the comparison is either saved in the session card or blocks the transition to the next step in case of a mismatch when the "verify" add-on is enabled.Mobile camera connection via QR code (qrcode)
Mobile platforms do not support screen capture capabilities. Phone and tablet browsers lack an API for screen recording, so users cannot take videos or photos of their screens. However, the metrics still function. For instance, if a browser tab is opened, it triggers events b1, b2, and b3.Overview of the room (overview)

Create a practice test that allows students to experience the entire test-taking process, including the equipment check process. The practice test has questions that carry zero points, and students receive a guest link that allows them to start the practice test without login credentials. This option provides students with a chance to test their equipment, become familiar with the test-taking process, and ensure that they are fully prepared for the actual test.
For added assurance, candidates are able to perform test for the webcam, microphone, and network using the following links:
