I was under the impression that a proctoring service has access to and can see exactly what you see on your screen. Is that not the case? Is it just a video of your face that they are looking at to make sure your eyes aren't wandering? Study.com uses Software Secure if that makes a difference.

I don't believe they can see whats on your screen. The one time I have done it so far I used a reflective surface to show them my screen. This way they didn't know I had post it notes or something on my screen. I believe they just see you and if you try to access other programs.
