YuJa Verity: Taking a YuJa Verity Proctored Quiz with a Secondary Camera

Overview

YuJa Verity has now added a feature that allows students to record their test-taking environment from two separate cameras. During proctoring setup, students can select multiple cameras, including a mobile phone as a second device. The additional camera captures the room and workspace alongside the computer’s webcam and screen recording.

Note: This setting is only available when taking a quiz via the YuJa Verity Browser Extension.

How to Prepare for a Secondary Camera Exam

  1. If you’re scheduled to take a proctored exam with a Second Camera, you will need to come prepared with a mobile device or portable tablet equipped with a front-facing camera and stable internet connectivity.
  2. Make sure you have a charger within reach of your workspace, as your mobile device's camera usage will drain its battery.
  3. Connect to the same Wi-Fi as your computer.

 

What to Do if Connecting with Your Mobile Device

  1. The second camera will require a YuJa Verity app to be downloaded on your mobile device.
    • During the pre-exam hardware setup, you will be prompted with a QR code. Scan this code with your mobile device, then select Next.
    • Download the YuJa Verity app.
    • Setup Camera
  2. Allow the mobile device camera to record.
  3. Flip the camera and confirm. The camera selection will be locked for the duration of the exam.
  4. Position your mobile device securely. Prop it against books, a tripod, or similar support to keep the camera steady. The camera will close automatically once you submit the quiz.

Note: Phones that are no longer receiving iOS or Android updates may not be compatible with the YuJa Verity app. These phones may include the iPhone XS/XR and Galaxy S21 series.
