Study.com room scan help?

[Merlin]

I still have half a mind to just buy a darn stand alone webcam, just so I can sit at my desk, use my desktop and be comfortable while testing.

Just a FYI, you cannot use an external webcam on a Mac. At least not with RPNow, which is what Study.com uses. I originally purchased my external webcam for just that purpose so I could use it on my iMac and not have to use my laptop, but I ran into issues while testing it. When I contacted support they said that their software doesn't support external cameras at all on Mac systems. It will appear to work but doesn't record properly on their side, which will invalidate the test. There is a notice on the RPNow site about it as well.

So, if you want to use an external webcam, you need a PC. Which is why I use it on our PC (which also has a 27" monitor) instead of the iMac now.

For ProctorU it may work fine with the external webcam, but I haven't tried that. I'm just using the PC now to be safe.
