SEB 3.2 adds support for remote proctoring using Zoom:
  • Built-in Zoom client can currently be used only with exams set up with latest development-versions of SEB Server.
  • You need to use a Zoom account which allows to create apps on the Zoom Marketplace. You need to create an SDK app and enter the SDK Key and Secret into the Proctoring settings of SEB Server. Note that there are two different sets of Zoom account key/secrets, SEB for Windows and SEB Server need the API key/secret, SEB for macOS/iOS the SDK key/secret.
  • Implemented SEB Raise Hand feature using the new button in the SEB Dock. Right/long click for adding a raise hand message.
  • Proctoring button in the SEB Dock can be used to show/hide Zoom proctoring window if settings allow this. The button also indicates a running proctoring session.
  • Proctoring window configuration and dynamic reconfiguration by SEB Server (visibility, receiving/sending audio/video streams, chat button, tile/thumbnail view button, Zoom raise hand feature) works now.
  • Added error handling for Zoom proctoring: Restarting proctoring if it suddenly ends on its own and displaying lock screen if authentication or joining the meeting fails.
  • Fixed locked exams (which were not quit properly) when using SEB Server.
  • Fixed clearing cookies and web cashes etc. when quitting SEB.
  • Now logging macOS version in SEB logs.
  • Attempt to fix an issue of SEB logs not being sent to SEB Server in some cases.
  • Changed log level for examining request headers for LMS user ID from debug to verbose.
  • Now supporting lock screen notifications when connected to SEB Server. The notification is displayed with a bell symbol in front of the user name in the Running Exam monitoring view. Clicking the user name shows the error message which invoked a lock screen.
  • Lock screens can now be unlocked from SEB Server (without having to communicate the Quit/Unlock password to students). Note that you have to confirm all pending lock screen notifications for a user if there are several before the lock screen closes.
  • Added a "Retry" button to the lock screen displayed if connecting to SEB proctoring meeting fails. The Retry button can be used without having to enter the Quit/Unlock button and the lock screen closes, if retrying to connect succeeds.
  • Improved stability of application and Zoom proctoring.
