- Double-click the ZoomInstaller.exe file to open it wherever it was saved on the computer and follow the instructions to complete the installation.

Exam Rules
- Be alone in your room (if possible)
- Clear desk and area where you're taking your exam (including around and below desk/table)
- Please make sure your computer is plugged in (not only running on battery)
- No phones, headphones, and/or earbuds
- No dual monitors
- No leaving your seat
- Refrain from talking
- Webcam, speakers, and microphone must remain on throughout the exam
- Keep the recording going until after you have submitted your exam
- You can have blank scratch paper and or whiteboard, but you need to erase, tear up, and/or destroy it while still recording, at the end of your exam recording
When you are ready to take your exam
- In the Zoom window, click Start with video.
- Click Share Screen.
- Select the correct window for your screen or computer monitor and then click Share Screen.
Note: Your screen will look similar to the following: - In your thumbnail video, increase its size by clicking the large rectangle.
Note: On Macs during testing, the window had to be manually resized. Your screen should look similar to the following: - When you are ready to record, on the Zoom menu, select More and then select Record to the Cloud.
Note: During testing, some on Macs this option was found under Meeting, as shown below.
Others only reported a single record option as shown below.
My hope is that their Zoom just needed to be updated to have all the options. If this does not turn out to be the case, the file that is recorded to your computer should be shared through a Cloud-based program like OneDrive that you have through K-State (separate instructions). - Follow through on showing the environment you are taking the exam in, along with a whiteboard or blank scratch paper that you plan to use as illustrated in this video.
