FAQs
Q: Is a no-webcam exam as strict as a webcam-proctored one? It's a lower-confidence mode, clearly labeled — appropriate for weekly quizzes, less so for high-stakes finals where a webcam should be required if at all possible.
Q: Why do some students lack a working webcam? Older school-issued Chromebooks and shared family devices often have disabled or broken cameras.
Q: Does this still stop tab-switching to search engines? Yes — browser lockdown and tab-switch detection don't depend on the camera at all.
Q: Can a school require webcams for finals but not weekly quizzes? Yes, camera requirement is a per-exam toggle, so policy can flex by stakes.
Q: Does this work on school-managed Chromebooks with restricted extensions? Yes, Neuroxa runs as a browser-based layer with no extension install required.
