onVue Proctors do not see my video feed during the exam

I am trying to take CompTIA Security+ Exam on onVUE and the diagnostics run fine. Connection is good, audio is good, video is good. As a matter of fact I see myself on video as it says recording in the top right.

However the proctor would always message me and say they do not see me on video. I am wired in, my connection is good. Stop asking me to check my connection. My firewall is off, VPN is off. Camera enabled in privacy settings. Tried different laptops, cameras, connections. Same issue.

Why are the proctors not seeing me on video? I had to cancel and re-schedule 5 times now.

Just called onVUE customer support (855 542 6924). They straight up just told me that they don't have any technical knowledge in trying to resolve this. A software company whose job is to support test takers across the world do not have at a minimum, a technical department to resolve technical issues. Their only attempt at a solution was to tell me to go to a test center instead.

Pathetic!

On hold now for 30 min to speak to a supervisor.................

Oh and their way of getting rid of you is to put you on hold and never come back. This supervisor just did it to me.

Hi CompTIA03,

 

We can forward your case to our Support Team and coordinate with Pearson VUE as to why they have issues seeing you on the video.

 

Meanwhile, as mentioned on one of your response, one of their recommendation is to attend the exam via in person/testing center option. We can ask for other options (if any) as it appears that this recommendation does not work for you.


To proceed, kindly forward us the exam registration details of the exam you are taking. Once we have this information, we'll have it forwarded to our Suppor Team.

 

I look forward to your response. Please note that if no response is received after two business days, the case will be closed and locked. After the case is locked, we will no longer be able to respond, even through Private Messages. Thank you.

​Hi CompTIA,

 

We received an update from our Support Team.

 

Please see the response below:

 

"There are differences between Microsoft and other Pearson VUE clients. The issue in question could be related to those differences; however, it is most likely on your end with security restrictions and firewalls.

It should be noted that Pearson VUE is taking steps to limit these differences between our clients; however, this work may not be completed this year, our goal is the end of 2021 and will hopefully reduce these types of complaints to a smaller fraction.

As for you, our only recommendation is you may take the exam at one of the testing centers of Pearson VUE. If you are not able to find the program or firewall stopping the streaming service to the OnVUE Cloud."

 

For further information, please visit this link.

 

Thank you for your understanding.

 

If this solves your problem, please indicate “Yes” to the question and the thread will automatically be closed and locked. In case we do not receive a response, the thread will be closed and locked after one business day. Please be advised that after the case is locked, we will no longer be able to respond. If the resolution provided did not resolve the issue, please post a new question.
