You can attempt a proctored assessment in YuJa Verity in a virtual machine environment.

To start your proctored assessment, you will need to access Verity in your learning management system (LMS), such as Blackboard, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, or Moodle, using the YuJa Verity Browser Extension in a supported browser or through the YuJa Verity Lockdown app. The extension can be added to your browser within your virtual machine, and the app can be downloaded within your virtual machine environment.
