  of your webcam video feed is what the Exam Proctor also sees, and if for any reason, you cannot see yourself clearly or if your webcam video feed goes dark, then you must correct this issue immediately! Any scenario where the Quiz Tools webcam
  goes dark or where you are no longer in view is grounds for disqualification.
