Live proctoring: real-time or record & review? Or both?

Real-time live proctoring

For high-stakes exams that require immediate intervention. With real-time live online proctoring, human proctors monitor each session as it happens. This is ideal when immediate action is required, such as pausing an exam, issuing a warning, or providing live support.

Asynchronous live proctoring

For scalable monitoring without sacrificing exam integrity. In this model, proctors don’t watch exams live. Instead, test sessions are recorded (video, audio, screen), then later reviewed by trained proctors for any irregularities. It’s a cost-effective way to maintain credibility while optimizing resources.

Works for everyone

For test organizers

Configure all exam parameters to your requirements: OctoProctor’s functionality is customizable. Use session templates for simpler administration. Conduct written and oral exams that are safe from cheating. Add a second camera for a full view of test-taker workspace. Review detailed reports and video records on all sessions.

For test takers

No need to install any additional software, you have your browser - that’s it. Your security is protected: OctoProctor does not require remote control of your computer, tablet or phone. Proctoring, including screen sharing, only works while you are completing a test: you give permissions explicitly at the start of each assessment session. Contact your proctor any time during your exam - you won't stay unnoticed.

For proctors

Intervene at any point: talk with test takers via chat, audio or video, rate or terminate sessions manually. Monitor multiple test takers at once in a convenient way. Have access to video from test-taker web cameras, screens, and mobile cameras for a complete view. No need to jump randomly between test takers - OctoProctor highlights participants suspected of cheating. Communicate with other proctors in a special room.
