Hi
I've heard that in the GMAT online there is a small window onscreen which shows your webcam's feed. This can be potentially distracting since we are not used to seeing ourselves during exams.
If such a window does appear, do we have the option to hide/drag it away?

Hi kulshresthaarjun,
As far as I know, you only see yourself on screen during the check-in process before the actual exam begins.
However, it's always possible that this feature could have changed since I last took the GMAT online in 2021, way back when you weren't allowed to use a physical whiteboard. Thus, it would be nice to hear from someone who has taken the exam more recently.
I also agree that this would be distracting — as would seeing the proctor's video feed, neither of which actually happened during my GMAT online testing experience.
