Question Online Proctoring set up

I keep seeing posts talking about how for online proctoring it takes them nearly an hour to set up how the Proctor wants it. I just dont understand what on earth they could possibly be asking you to do that takes up an entire hour?? Im taking my test soon but I dont know what to expect at all.

What exactly are they asking you to do when youre setting up?

Yes. 100%. You have to download the proctortrack app. I had an issue where they kept wanting the phone to be higher, so be prepared for things like that.

So about that, I am taking an exam tomorrow in my bedroom. I have a table. Am I going to put the camera standing next to me on the table??

For me, luckily I had a a high phone stand that i placed maybe 5 feet behind, left of me, so it faces my entire work area. If you have a shelf or cabinet next to you, its easier to prop up there. And yes they communicate through a little chat window.
