Map LMS launch, LockDown Browser setup, Zoom or Teams links, camera and microphone permissions, attendance rules, device support, allowed materials, timing, and support contacts.
Instructor Live Proctoring combines LockDown Browser with a live video meeting. The exam content matters, but so do meeting access, device compatibility, and instructor instructions.
A complete plan prepares the exam content, LockDown Browser launch, video meeting setup, attendance workflow, and contingency steps.
Respondus says the option is available to institutions that license both LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor.
Respondus lists Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Blackboard Collaborate as formally tested, with other web-based systems expected to work.
Respondus recommends the option for small classes because the instructor must manage attendance, observation, and meeting participation.
Windows, macOS, and the Chromebook extension support the option; iPad does not directly support the same single-device workflow.
Students need both the LMS exam path and the video meeting path ready. A practice run should confirm LockDown Browser can launch the quiz and the video system can handle camera, microphone, and meeting access.
Live proctoring depends on instructor rules for attendance, ID, camera position, allowed materials, communication, bathroom breaks, and what happens if a student leaves the video session.
Candidates should know the instructor's escalation route, help desk contact, network backup option, and instructions for a dropped meeting or LockDown Browser interruption before the exam starts.

Respondus Instructor Live Proctoring is an option for institutions that license both LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor. Respondus describes it as a workflow where LockDown Browser controls the computer environment while the instructor watches students through a video conferencing system such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Blackboard Collaborate, or another web-based meeting tool. Respondus recommends this approach for smaller classes because the instructor must manage meeting access, attendance, observation, and students leaving the video session.
HiraEdu supports legitimate readiness by helping candidates prepare both the academic content and the live-session workflow. Students should confirm the LMS course and exam link, LockDown Browser version, supported device, video meeting link, meeting password if any, camera and microphone permissions, screen or room-scan expectations, identity instructions, allowed materials, time zone, attendance procedure, and the instructor's escalation channel. Windows, macOS, and the Chromebook extension support this option; iPad does not directly support the same workflow because it cannot run the video meeting and LockDown Browser assessment mode at the same time.
Live instructor proctoring has more moving parts than an asynchronous webcam recording. Candidates should test the video system and LockDown Browser before exam day, keep chargers and network backup plans ready, know what to do if the meeting drops, and understand whether leaving the video session affects the exam. HiraEdu helps candidates build a preflight checklist and study plan while preserving instructor supervision, LMS rules, and Respondus integrity controls.
It is a workflow where LockDown Browser controls the testing environment while an instructor observes students through a live video meeting.
Respondus lists Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Blackboard Collaborate as formally tested, and says other web-based video systems should work.
The instructor must manage meeting access, attendance, observation, and whether students leave the video session, which becomes harder as class size grows.
Respondus says iPad does not directly support this option on a single device because assessment mode does not allow the video meeting and exam to run together.
Test LockDown Browser, LMS access, the video meeting tool, webcam, microphone, speakers, network stability, charger, meeting link, allowed materials, and instructor support contacts.
Gather the LMS course, exam title, meeting link, meeting password, attendance rule, time zone, allowed materials, ID process, accommodation settings, and support contacts.
Check the supported device, LockDown Browser version, webcam, microphone, speakers, charger, network stability, video meeting access, and any required browser permissions.
Join the video meeting, confirm audio and camera, follow instructor startup instructions, then launch the Respondus-protected exam from the LMS path.
Document what to do if the video meeting drops, LockDown Browser freezes, network disconnects, ID review is delayed, or the instructor asks for follow-up documentation.
Use the guide to self-serve, or talk to a coordinator if you need help mapping timelines, official requirements, or troubleshooting day-of logistics.
