Content copy protection (content)
Track metrics (track)
Enable screen capture (screen)
Manual face photography (face)
Includes the stage of photographing the face by the student. The taken photo is compared with the photo of the face from the participant’s profile. The result of the comparison is either saved in the session card or blocks the transition.
Manual photography of the passport (passport)
Includes the step of photographing an identity document by the student. The taken photo is compared with the photo of the ID from the participant’s profile. The result of the comparison is either saved in the session card or blocks the transition to the next step in case of a mismatch when the "verify" add-on is enabled.
Upload a scanned copy of the passport (scan)
Includes the step of uploading the scan of the identifying document by the student. The taken photo is compared with the photo of the scan from the participant’s profile. The result of the comparison is either saved in the session card or blocks the transition to the next step in case of a mismatch when the "verify" add-on is enabled.
Mobile camera connection via QR code (qrcode)
Mobile platforms do not support screen capture capabilities. Phone and tablet browsers lack an API for screen recording, so users cannot take videos or photos of their screens. However, the metrics still function. For instance, if a browser tab is opened, it triggers events b1, b2, and b3.
