[ARCHIVED] Can an instructor use the conference tool to proctor an exam?

I need to find a solution for proctoring online exams remotely. Can the CANVAS conference tool help with this?

Hi  @koestrei . I converted this from a question to a discussion because I believe this could be a matter of opinion or differ based on personal and institutional requirements of proctoring. That being said, with conferences you would be able to see a portion of the students working space and hear through their microphone if enabled. I could see this serving the needs of some proctoring scenarios. I also know that some proctoring services use conference-like tools to perform their services.
