Some teachers turn on ID verification for their test. When it’s enabled, you take a quick photo of your student ID so your teacher can confirm who’s taking the exam.
ID verification appears before you start the test — between agreeing to be monitored and setting up your camera and screen — and only if your teacher turned it on (and the test requires a camera). If you don’t see it, that’s normal; your test just doesn’t use it.

​
What you’ll see

The screen is headed “ID verification”:
“Hold your student ID up to the camera so your name is clearly visible, then take a photo.”

​
Taking the photo

1

Hold up your ID

Hold your student ID up to your webcam so your name is clearly visible in the frame.
2

Take the photo

Click “Take ID Photo”.
3

Check it, then continue

If it’s blurry or hard to read, click “Retake photo” and try again. When it looks clear, click “Continue”.
For a clean photo: make sure your name is readable, face a light source (not a bright window behind you), and avoid glare on the card.

​
If your camera is blocked

If your camera is blocked or missing, you’ll see recovery help — “Camera access was blocked” and “How to allow camera access:” — with steps to fix it. Depending on your teacher’s settings, you may also be able to “Continue without camera”. For full instructions on unblocking your camera, see Camera & screen setup.
