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
Hold up your ID
Hold your student ID up to your webcam so your name is clearly visible in the frame.
Take the photo
Click “Take ID Photo”.
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.
