ZOOM & RESPONDUS Lockdown Browser

ZOOM & RESPONDUS Lockdown Browser

With this exam method, you will be able to proctor live on Zoom and lock your students' computer screens with the Respondus Lockdown Browser at the same time. Respondus Lockdown Browser supports Windows and Mac operating systems.

In order to provide a safer and healthier exam process and see whether the settings you have chosen give the desired result, it is important that you do a “Practice Test” before the exam.

Remember to download and install the Zoom application before the exam by accessing https://zoom.us/download. Register to Zoom application with your Özyeğin account.

Make an announcement before the exam and ask students to log in to the Zoom Meeting you created for the exam (otherwise, Respondus ends the Zoom Meeting). The screenshot of how students can log in to Zoom via the browser is attached below.
