# Live proctoring with Synoptic

### Video Monitoring Candidates Live

When any of the video options are used (either Webcam, Screen or both) the option to live proctor candidates in real time will become available. Live proctoring allows you and your team to watch candidates in the exam, send warnings to candidates, leave notes and flags for the reset of your team reviewing the exam once it has finished.

From the live proctoring page, theres an event log detailing what the candidate is doing during the exam, any configured exam rule breaches will also show here. Live proctors can leave notes and send warnings to candidates as well as toggle different views between screen and webcam.&#x20;

Interval checks are automated every few seconds and will show as the candidate navigates through the questions and submits.&#x20;

#### Candidate Warnings&#x20;

Warnings left by live proctors to candidates will show on the candidates exam screen, candidates have to click 'I understand' in order to close the message and resume with the exam. Timers will continue to tick down.

When a candidate submits or leaves their attempt, the live proctoring is no longer available. The attempt can still be reviewed in the post exam proctoring review, details below.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://academy.synap.ac/doc/exams/proctoring-with-synoptic/live-proctoring-with-synoptic.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
