Exam Proctoring
---------------
If this feature is enabled, you are able to setup a proctoring service for an specified exam that can be used in the monitoring later on while the exam is running and SEB clients are connected.
.. note::
This feature is still in a prototype state and not all functionality meight work as expected.
To be able to use proctoring features within SEB Server you need a meeting service with scale. Currently supported is `Jitsi Meet <https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/>`_ with JWT token authentication enabled.
A `Zoom meeting service <https://zoom.us/>`_ integration is planed for a future release of SEB Server.
To setup and configure a Jitsi Meet service for testing you can refer to the `Docker installation documentation <https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-docker>`_
To setup a proctoring service for an exam, go to the view page of the exam and use the "Proctoring Settings" action on the right action pain to open up the proctoring settings dialog.
.. image:: images/exam/proctoringSettings.png
:align: center
:target: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SafeExamBrowser/seb-server/master/docs/images/exam/proctoringSettings.png
Within the proctoring settings dialog you are able switch the service on and off by using the "Proctoring enabled" checkbox. You also see if the proctoring service is enabled within
the action icon that is either an eye when active or a slashed eye when not active.
To define and bind a service you have to chose a service type from the available service types. And you need to give the API access credentials like "Application Key" and "Secret" for
the external meeting service. SEB Server will then try to connect to the meeting service with these credentials to automatically create meetings/rooms for proctoring.
Within the "Collecting Room Size" field you can define the number of maximal participants that shall be collected within one proctoring room. SEB Server will automatically
create these collecting rooms while SEB clients are connecting to the running exam in the monitoring view.
After you have all the settings set, use "OK" to confirm the settings. SEB Server will then try to connect to the meeting service with the given settings and check the access.
Another part of proctoring settings can be found in the "Exam Configuration" "SEB Settings". There is a new tab with the name "Proctoring" where all SEB settings for proctoring are available.
These settings are directly used by a SEB client that supports the proctoring feature.

Exam Proctoring
---------------
When the exam proctoring feature is enabled for the running exam (see **:ref:`seb_proctoringSettings-label`**), SEB Server will automatically create and collect
connected SEB clients into so called collecting rooms. The size of this collecting rooms can be defined within the proctoring settings in the exam.
One ore more proctor can now open such a collecting room and SEB Server will then join the proctor the the meeting where the SEB clients of this room can be seen.

Within a proctoring window you can user the enabled features of the used meeting service. And you are able to communicate with the SEB clients by using one
or more of the following features:
- **Start Audio Broadcast** Will enforce the SEB clients within the particular room to enable receive audio and a proctor can speak to the students that are in the meeting.
- **Start Video Broadcast** Will enforce the SEB clients within the particular room to enable receive audio and video and proctor is shown to the students that are in the meeting and can speak to them as well.
- **Enable Chat** Will enforce the SEB clients within the particular room to enable the chat feature and a proctor is able to chat with all students in the meeting.

**Town-hall Feature**
Beside the usual collecting room, there is a town-hall room feature. By using the "Open Townhall" action from the right action pane, SEB Server enforce all SEB clients that
are in collecting rooms as well as new connecting SEB clients to leave their current meeting and join the town-hall meeting for as long as the town-hall is active.
Within the town-hall a proctor has the same features as in the collecting room but can connect to all participants at the same time.
When the town-hall is closed all connected SEB clients are enforced to leave the town-room and go back to its collecting room meetings again.
**Single Room Feature"**
Another proctoring feature can be found in the detailed monitoring view of one particular SEB client connection. The single room features allows a proctor to connect to a single
participant and being able to view or communication with just this one participant. You can initiate this single room connection by using the "Single Room Proctoring" action on
the right action pane. SEB Server will then enforce the involved SEB client to leave its collecting room and join a newly created room with the proctor.
Within the single room a proctor has the same features as in the collecting room to communicate with the student or participant.
When the single room is closed the connected SEB clients is enforced to leave the single room and go back to its collecting room meetings again.
