How do I disable facial detection student notifications in a Respondus Monitor?

When Respondus Monitor is enabled for a test, students are required to use a webcam and microphone with Respondus LockDown Browser. Artificial Intelligence algorithms flags unusual activity such as eyes moving away from the screen or background noise. Some students find the on-screen notifications about facial detection to be distracting, or the type of exam requires students to frequently look away if they must reference notes or work on problems by hand before entering responses on a test. Therefore, it may be necessary to disable the notifications that tell students about facial detection flags.

NOTE: This setting should not be checked for any student with SDS Testing accommodations.

Disabling the Facial Detection Student Notification
