Keep an eye on candidates while their exam is happening with Synoptic Live Proctoring.
Proctors can now monitor up to 16 candidates each at the same time, directly from Synap — giving your team a real-time view of your exam session alongside Synoptic's existing recording and review tools.
Monitor candidates in real time
Once candidates have started their exam, head to Live Proctoring to see who is currently available to monitor.
From here, you can:
- 👥 Watch up to 16 candidates simultaneously
- 🎥 View candidates' live webcam feeds
- 🖥️ Monitor their screens during the exam
- 🔊 Listen to candidate audio
- ⚠️ Send warnings directly to candidates
- 🔎 Focus on an individual candidate for a more detailed view
- ⏱️ View their activity timeline while monitoring the session
You can choose which candidates you want to monitor and move between candidates throughout the exam, making it easy to oversee larger sessions from a single screen.
Intervene when you need to
If something catches your attention, you don't have to wait until the exam is over.
Proctors can focus on an individual candidate and send them a warning during their exam, allowing your team to respond to potential issues as they happen.
Live monitoring + post-exam review
Live Proctoring works alongside Synoptic's recorded proctoring and review tools.
That means you can monitor candidates during the exam, while still retaining the footage and activity timeline needed for a more detailed review afterwards.
Whether you're actively invigilating a scheduled exam session or reviewing candidate activity later, everything stays within the same Synoptic workflow.
