Has anyone used an external monitor/ closed laptop set-up for ProctorU?

My laptop screen is small and the built-in webcam/mic is unreliable, so I called and spoke with someone at LSAC this morning to see if an external monitor connected with an HDMI cable to my closed laptop would be alright. They said no, and that my test would be flagged if I used an external monitor and a bluetooth webcam.

The built-in webcam/mic is unreliable because it may randomly turn-off (happens on Zoom occasionally). I guess I can request an LSAC tablet, but does anyone have any thoughts or advice?

I took the November 2021 LSAT with an external monitor, an external USB webcam, and a closed laptop on my desk. I didn't have an issue.

Yes. Closed laptop. External monitor. External Webcam.

Thanks! I'm confused why the person I spoke with from LSAC said they don't allow that.
