How Pearson VUE OnVUE Proctors an Exam
OnVUE delivers AWS, Azure, CompTIA, PMP, Cisco and many other certifications. It is a live-proctored lockdown, not a browser-tab test:
- Secure-browser lockdown — takes over the screen and blocks other applications
- Live greeter + AI review — an agent checks ID and room, then AI and humans review webcam and screen
- 360° room and desk scan — a full webcam pan; a clear desk is required
- Process checks — refuses to start with known recording or helper software running
- Continuous webcam + screen recording — for the whole session, including breaks
Why Alt-Tab and Browser Extensions Fail on Pearson VUE
OnVUE's process checks and screen capture catch heavy tools and visible windows, and its live greeter plus room scan catch off-screen material. A native overlay avoids the first category — no recognised process, nothing in the screen capture — but the live webcam and room scan are a genuine constraint: anything you look at off the screen is on camera. So for OnVUE-proctored certs, UFOlee is best used for fast, thorough preparation.
