Nothing in the video is particularly egregious other than having to use your own hardware to do it. All those precautions are followed if you’re in a controlled test environment; Since they can’t control your home and computer, they must ensure you’re not cheating.

I don’t see a problem with that, you’re taking a test.

That said, I would not like to install this on my computer and would 100% use a separate user to do so. As long as it runs in the home directory I will trash it afterwards. I even use Zoom from my phone rather than installing it on my computer, but if I had to I’d do the same.

There is an alternative solution to this problem with far less privacy implications....
