Equipment check
When students start an exam with a meeting link in the Digiexam client, they need to allow Digiexam to access the webcam and microphone. Before students start an exam with an external tool that needs access to webcam and microphone, Digiexam conducts an equipment check.
If the equipment check fails, there's a link to guide for resolving the issue on the student's device
