Hi there. I have taken the test remotely twice - the second one was a nightmare. Mostly commenting to touch on things others have not yet covered, or that I missed if they did.
If there are other screens in the room you are testing in, you will need to cover them with a blanket or sheet. I have a desktop and a laptop and while I was planning on testing on my desktop computer the last time I tested, it did not work out, so I was testing at my computer desk with a sheet over my monitor, taking the test on my laptop. There was another sheet on my TV and one over my clothes rack in the background at the request of the agent checking me in.
If you have a cell phone, they want it in the room with you, in view of the camera, and out of reach. I had to leave my room to get my phone because I had turned it off and left it in another room.
If you are using an external webcam, make sure you do not lose the video feed when you move it!
The reason I started my test 45 minutes late last time (!!!) was because every time I picked it up to scan the room, the feed would go black, and I would have to restart with a new agent because it would not come back on. This happened several times. Check to make sure your video input is stable! For this reason, I will just use my laptop next time.
Best of luck!
