Some programs or courses may require you to have a webcam, which is a camera for your computer. When you turn it on, the members of your audience see you sitting in front of the computer, as if they were looking through your screen. A webcam may be required for a couple of reasons:

First, you may be required to give synchronous presentations, and you may be asked to share an image of yourself during the presentation.

Second, an institution may require a webcam if a proctoring service is used for testing. Some proctoring services have you log in to a site and share your webcam so that they can confirm your identity and monitor your environment during a test. Most laptops and Chromebooks come with a webcam built in. If you have a desktop machine, you may need to purchase a separate camera.
