Webcam issues with CSA

Hi all 

I attempted to take my CSA last week - but hit a technical issue that i wasn't able to resolve

My webcam was working and i got to the stage where it was able to authenticate me against my previously provided biometrics 

However - when i was selected by an assessor (after being taken out the waiting lobby), my camera feed had stopped working and i no longer had a video clip of me, but a static image (frozen at some point in the previous minutes)

This happened countless times, and i spent hours trying different solutions and changing properties on the laptop to no avail.  Having googled it i can see its a known issue.  Has anyone experienced this?  and if so, so you have a solution? 

Many thanks

Charlotte

Hi Charlotte,

I had the same issue.  I was able to contact a rep at Kyrterion and she was able to help me with firewall issues, and issues with anti virus blocking the test site.

This is usually happen due to type of camera or firewall settings, so make sure to test webcam after closing the firewall once.
