Then there's also online proctoring for test taking for universities as well where you need to stream live test takers to proctors.

What? People go on camera to sit exams so they can be invigilated?

That's so short sighted. Anyone who wanted to cheat could do anything to circumvent that - first comes to mind is plastering the wall with notes...

When I did my ham radio test they had me show the camera around the room, desk, wall, ceiling, floor, anything that was easy to glance at. Or better just use my cell phone as a second camera looking at me from the back left.

I do find it funny that people get mad about this "invasion of privacy" except this is exactly what a live in person proctor is looking for.
