Which, if any of the exploits require anything that isn't on-screen (USB or other HID, key combination), requires a reboot, or anything done before Windows has fully booted, means one must have an external camera

Doesn't sound like it for these exploits specifically (except Yellow Key), but I could be wrong, and again: that's just for these exploits specifically

I don't think you'd need an external camera for that. What you're doing would be mentioned in the accompanying report.

I do agree with you about the boot process, though.

I believe Hyper-V supports emulating TPM these days, so doing things to a VM and recording the desktop with the VM window _may_ work. In this case though it'd look very boring because you couldn't tell from the recording that anything happened.

Personally I'd think Microsoft would be cool with following the report instead of demanding video evidence in the first place, but silly me thinking the trillion dollar multi-national would be reasonable

I've used cheap HDMI to USB adapters for that in the past. Worked fine albeit somewhat low res. (Still much better than a camera pointed at a screen.)

>>> flow chart tech support with a "buy a webcam" cherry on top

>> I feel safe in saying that they don't want a video of you at your keyboard typing stuff. An exploit video is a recording of your screen, not of you.

That still wouldn't mean "buy a webcam" - if someone has had a mobile phone (smartphone or dumbphone) from recent decades, it likely had a camera included.
