Preconditions for Testing #

• QR code reader on a mobile device.
• Mobile internet or a Wi-Fi Connection on a mobile device.
• Vertical stand for a mobile device positioned behind (or next to) a seat for the test-taker.

Log in as a proctor (username: proctor, password: Password for proctor account provided by YouTestMe) and check the AI–generated report.VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: In the first minute of the recording, the system is still synchronizing the primary and secondary camera so please examine the recording starting from the second minute. From the second minute, the primary and secondary cameras are synchronized. However, please keep in mind that a delay of a few seconds between the videos can still appear depending on the strength of the internet connection used during the test attempt.
