Why Be Your Own Proctor?

Be Your Own Proctor (BYOP) delivers a real-time, purpose-built monitoring platform, with auto-proctoring running underneath, while the AI alerts proctors to areas of concern that they might not notice on their own. Bring in any proctoring team you choose, or let faculty pop in to assist students during an exam.

Student-Friendly

A Familiar Face, Not a Stranger

Two-way support is built into every exam, so live proctoring feels like part of your institution, and students can reach out to a familiar voice when they need help.

Scalable

Augmented Tools Improve Ratios and Results

Real-time flagging and automated analysis mean a small team can oversee far more exams than manual review ever could.

Affordable

Platform Licensing, Not Per-Exam Fees

Platform licensing scales with your institution, not with each exam. This lets you maintain predictability in your costs, year over year.

"In 2018, we had a simple idea: why not give people the ability to proctor their own students and candidates? That idea led us to create the Be Your Own Proctor platform."

Why Proctorio's BYOP Is Different

We didn't just name this category. We built the only platform designed for it.

Student-Centered

Chat isn't just proctor-to-student. Students can initiate a conversation from their side, whenever they need help. The proctor isn't just watching, they're available and ready to step in.

AI That Scales

Our tools handle the heavy lifting, flagging potential issues, verifying identity, monitoring behavior, so your proctors can focus on judgment calls, not staring at screens.

One Integrated Platform

Lockdown browser, live monitoring, recording, identity verification, and analytics, all built together as one platform from the ground up.

See the Dashboard

One dashboard gives you everything you need: the complete roster, chat, live feed, histogram, actionable tools and a customizable gallery view of everyone taking the test.

See Every Candidate at a Glance

The Roster Panel lists every candidate with a live, color-coded status: active, in pre-checks, or exempt. A Suspicion Pill next to each name shifts from green to yellow to red based on real-time behavior, so your proctors know where to look first.

Watch, Listen, and Take Action in Real Time

The Focus View shows a candidate's webcam and desktop screen, swappable with one click. A Suspicion Level histogram and Incident Log surface flagged activity as it happens, and proctors can add their own annotations or take action with a simple click.

Step In When It Matters

Select the candidates you want to monitor, chat with, or manage. Reach out, interrupt an attempt, or remove the candidate, as your own preferences and policies allow.

Be There When They Need You

BYOP builds comprehensive, two-way support directly into the exam experience. Your proctor is right there, ready to help the moment a student needs it.

This isn't chat as an afterthought. It's a comprehensive system for conversational support, built into the core of the platform.

The BYOP Difference

Your proctor knows your students, your policies, and your campus - so judgment calls come from context, not a stranger's snapshot.

Built for Faculty and Administrators

For Faculty

"I want my students proctored by someone who actually knows my course and my policies."

BYOP keeps the human connection institutional. Students see a familiar face, someone who represents you and knows your course, not a stranger.

For Administrators

"Live proctoring costs are out of control. We're paying per-exam fees that scale with every enrollment increase."

BYOP means platform licensing, not per-exam fees. AI handles the scale, so proctoring decisions stay in your hands, on your terms.

A stranger who's never met your students, never seen your policies, and never sat in your classroom shouldn't get a vote in what counts as academic integrity at your institution.

With BYOP, that vote stays with you.
