I would just like to add that I also plan to take the GMAT at home (GMAT attempt #6!) on my MacBook Air with Windows 10 installed via Bootcamp, as well as the At-Home GRE using the same method, with a PC laptop as a backup just in case.
I will get back to you if there are any compatibility / tech issues--if not, then I will post a step-by-step "how to" for all the Mac users out there.
I find it hard to believe that this "interim" solution will not end up becoming permanent...

Thank you Brian!
I will also be taking the home edition of the GRE in the next couple of weeks and let the forum know how it went.
BTW, my roommate is a coder and apparently he took an exam here in Toronto that used the Proctor U platform and he said that it was quite intimidating. He said that the proctor apprently interrupted every chance she got. For example he was thinking about a problem and had his face or cheeks leaning over his hands on the table and she said remove that. She also told him to sit straight and not play with the pen as he was tapping on the desk while thinking. So if anything I think this will be quite a daunting experience. Imaging being in a class room writing a test and the proctor is standing over your shoulder looking into your sheet at all times. It will def be a bit distracting.
I also think this is something that is going to be a permanent option for bot GRE and GMAC. On the GRE webinar the Director of the ETS carefully dodged the qs when she was asked whether this will be a permanent feature or only during this crisis. I think this will become permanent in the near future.

From what I have heard so far, the proctor from Proctor U cannot actually "talk" to you (there is no microphone or audio coming from the proctor's end, and even if there were, you could probably just mute your computer's volume), but instead has to type text into the message bar. If so, then that would be a lot less distracting, but still distracting, I agree. Taps and clicks could be used to cheat, though--which explains why the proctor requires that you stay silent and keep your face uncovered.

Guys I just booked my GRE and it is awesome.
We could schedule the dates and time of the exam anytime. There were time slots available on the weekend and all the way upto 11.30 pm in the night.
This is legendary and I think GRE along with Proctor U will change the way we standardized tests moving forward. Just the convenience of it all. I am highly impressed.
