# How does proctoring work?

In our effort to embrace tighter integration with electronic virtual proctoring services, we're changing how we use the term Proctoring.

For tight integration with third party services, we now refer to this feature set Virtual Proctoring. This feature needs to be initially configured with assistance from your GAUGE/test.com representative. Once configured, see the settings below.

Our application has rich features that support live instructor proctoring. This feature can be setup to support loose integrations with third party virtual proctoring services and remains unchanged. We now refer to this feature set as Instructor Proctoring. This feature is setup where User Security groups are managed. This feature is setup where User Security groups are managed. See the Instructor menu choice at the top of this page for more information.
