“Does Examplify record you?” is one of the most searched questions about ExamSoft’s exam software. The answer depends on how your school has configured Examplify — but this complete 2026 guide covers exactly what gets recorded, when, and what it means for nursing students taking high-stakes proctored assessments.
Does Examplify Record Video During Your Exam?
It depends on whether your school has enabled ExamMonitor. Examplify itself is just a secure browser that locks down your exam device. The recording capabilities come from ExamMonitor — ExamSoft’s AI proctoring add-on. If your school has enabled ExamMonitor, then yes: Examplify will record your webcam video continuously throughout your exam. If ExamMonitor is not enabled, no video is recorded.
Does Examplify Record Audio?
Yes, if ExamMonitor is enabled. ExamMonitor activates your microphone and records ambient audio in your exam environment throughout the exam. Unusual sounds — like another person talking, a television in the background, or a phone call — can be flagged by ExamMonitor’s AI for human review.
Does Examplify Record Your Screen?
Yes, if ExamMonitor is enabled. ExamMonitor records your screen activity throughout the exam. The exam window is the only thing on your screen during an Examplify exam (the software blocks other applications), so screen recording shows only your exam responses.
Does Examplify Always Record? How Do I Know If ExamMonitor Is Active?
Before your exam begins, Examplify will display a clear notice explaining exactly what data will be collected. If ExamMonitor is active, you will see tiles or notifications specifically mentioning ExamMonitor — and you’ll be asked to grant camera and microphone permissions. If these permissions are not requested, ExamMonitor is likely not enabled for your exam.
How Long Does Examplify Keep Recordings?
ExamSoft’s data retention policies determine how long recordings are kept. Institutions control their own data retention settings within ExamSoft. Recordings are typically stored on ExamSoft’s servers and accessible to your school’s ExamSoft administrators for a period defined by institutional policy — often 1–3 years.
What Does Examplify Record and Store After Your Exam?
- Your exam responses (always stored)
- Timestamps of when each question was answered
- Any answers changed and when
- Webcam video (if ExamMonitor enabled)
- Microphone audio (if ExamMonitor enabled)
- Screen recording (if ExamMonitor enabled)
- AI behavior flags generated during the exam
What Examplify Does NOT Record
- ❌ Activity on other devices (phones, tablets) not connected to your exam computer
- ❌ Network traffic outside of Examplify’s own communications
- ❌ What’s happening outside your webcam’s field of view
- ❌ Activity on other applications (they’re blocked anyway)
Getting Expert Help Despite Examplify Recording
Because Examplify’s recording scope is limited to your exam device and what your webcam can see, our secondary device method operates entirely outside Examplify’s recording capabilities. Our specialists provide real-time answer guidance through a phone or tablet positioned outside webcam view — completely invisible to ExamMonitor’s video, audio, and screen recording systems.
