I was wondering if you used an external webcam not the built in one for your test, did it work for you? I can see that alot of applicants had a problem with that. My laptop camera is very bad so I want to be ready.

I believe there shouldn't be any problems, as its only a part of hardware. All PC's need a external camera (webcam) for video chats same goes with laptop if the camera is bad/ not working.

@RS1989 that should be fine. However if your laptop camera is detected then it would default to that. What you could do disable the laptop built in camera in device manager. And then the USB camera will be the default. Nevertheless you have a lot of time to get this setup before the test.During the ID sacnning, you can test which camera is being pulled in. The test timer doesn't start during ID upload. Hope that helps
