3. Select the option for Require Respondus LockDown Browser for this exam.
   
4. If you would like to enable webcam monitoring, jump to Respondus Monitor. Otherwise, click Save + Close.
5. Return to the content area where the test is deployed. You will see that the phrase, "Requires Respondus LockDown Browser" has been appened to the test name. This indicates that the test has been successfully setup to require the LockDown Browser.

Respondus Monitor

Monitor works in conjunction with the LockDown browser and provides webcam monitoring of a student's test session. The entire test session is recorded for instructor review. Using facial detection, Respondus Monitor will flag videos as higher priority if it detects that the student was out of the video frame.

To enable Respondus Monitor

1. Once LockDown Browser is enabled for a test, Monitor Webcam Settings are displayed.
2. Choose "Require Respondus Monitor for this exam".
3. Additional options will then appear for pre-test checks to verify webcam functionality. It is recommended to leave those options selected.
