I had to hastily evaluate a bunch of online proctoring systems during lockdown. They went from dismal(1) to borderline scammy(2). I advised against using any, and got a lot of pushback from the department heads. Someone in the regional government must have seen the same as me, and after a couple weeks the regional education authorities had banned the damn things. (1) one of them systematically failed to do face recognition on females with particular haircut styles (2) Another claimed to be "AI powered" when it was pretty obvious after a couple meetings that they were just handing out the proctoring to real people quickly poring after the fact over a slideshow of the whole thing.
