The Proctor Chat application is designed to facilitate secure and monitored communication during online exams or assessments. To download and install the app, follow these simple steps:
- Check Compatibility: Ensure your device meets the system requirements. Proctor Chat typically supports recent versions of Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. A stable internet connection and a working webcam/microphone are also required for full functionality.
- Visit the Official Source: Always download the Proctor Chat app from the official website or authorized app stores to avoid security risks. For mobile devices, open the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and search for “Proctor Chat.” On desktops, go to the institution’s or proctoring service provider’s official website—often linked from your learning management system (e.g., Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard).
- Install the Application: On mobile, tap “Install” or “Get” and follow the prompts. For desktop users, download the installer file (usually a .exe for Windows or .dmg for macOS), then run it and follow the on-screen instructions. You may need administrator privileges.
- Log In: After installation, launch the app and log in using the credentials provided by your educational institution or exam administrator. Do not use personal accounts unless explicitly instructed.
- Grant Permissions: The app will request access to your camera, microphone, and screen—essential for proctoring. Allow these permissions to ensure the app functions correctly during your exam.
- Run a System Check: Many proctoring platforms include a pre-exam system check. Complete this to verify your setup meets all technical requirements.
Note: Never download Proctor Chat from third-party websites or unverified links, as this could compromise your data or exam integrity. If you encounter issues, contact your institution’s IT support or the proctoring service’s helpdesk for assistance.
