This article outlines the deprecation of playback recordings associated with Video Proctoring and the transition to using Whole Screen Recording for session recordings. We explain the reasons behind this change, detail the differences between the old and new recording methods, and provide information on what will remain unchanged and the status of previous recordings.
Why we're making this change?
We are making this change to enhance the quality and reliability of session recordings. The current method of generating recordings from snapshots taken every 30 seconds during Video Proctoring has resulted in situations of confusion during malpractices. By transitioning to Whole Screen Recording, we aim to provide a smoother and more comprehensive recording experience.
What's changing?
Deprecation of Playback Recordings in Video Proctoring: The existing method of creating session playback videos from periodic snapshots during Video Proctoring will be discontinued.
Introduction of Whole Screen Recording: All session recordings will now utilize Whole Screen Recording, which can be enabled from the proctoring settings. This method offers a more accurate and high-quality recording of the entire assessment session.
What's staying the same?
Snapshot-Based Face Verification: Video Proctoring will continue to capture periodic snapshots for the purpose of face verification and violations. This ensures that candidate identity verification remains robust and effective.
Proctoring Capabilities: All other proctoring functionalities and security measures will remain unaffected by this change, maintaining the integrity and security of the assessment process.
What happens to previous recordings?
Access to Previous Recordings: Any existing session playback videos created via the snapshot method in Video Proctoring will remain accessible to users on demand.
Future Recordings: Moving forward, all new session recordings will need to be conducted through Whole Screen Recording, providing a more seamless and reliable playback experience.
