Screen Recording Bypass

FkNeo’s screen recording bypass feature gives you complete control over what gets recorded during your test session, protecting your privacy while maintaining compliance with test requirements.

​

What Gets Bypassed?

Traditional NeoExamShield implementations force full desktop recording, capturing everything on your screen including:

• Personal information in other windows
• Private messages and notifications
• Unrelated work or browsing activity
• System information and configurations

FkNeo changes this by giving you control over the recording scope.

​

Key Features

​

Selective Tab/Window Recording

Instead of recording your entire screen, you can:

​

Stop Screen Sharing

With FkNeo, you can stop screen recording at any time:

• No alerts triggered - Stopping recording won’t flag your session
• Resume when ready - Restart recording without penalties
• Complete control - Decide what and when to share

​

How It Works

​

Technical Implementation

FkNeo bypasses screen recording restrictions through:

1. WebRTC API Interception - Intercepts and modifies screen sharing requests
2. MediaStream Control - Manages what media streams are exposed to the test platform
3. Permission Spoofing - Provides false confirmations to monitoring systems
4. Event Blocking - Prevents recording-stop events from being reported

​

Privacy Protection

The screen recording bypass ensures:

• No full desktop capture - Only selected content is recorded
• No peripheral monitoring - Other applications remain private
• No notification exposure - Pop-ups and alerts outside the test window aren’t captured
• No system information leakage - Desktop icons, taskbar, and system details stay hidden

​

Usage Guide

​

During Test Setup

When the test requests screen recording permission:

​

Stopping Recording Mid-Test

If you need to stop recording during the test:

1. Click the browser’s recording indicator (usually in the address bar or tab)
2. Select “Stop Sharing” from the menu
3. The recording will stop without triggering NeoExamShield alerts

​

Resuming Recording

To resume recording after stopping:

1. The test platform may automatically prompt for recording again
2. Select your preferred recording scope
3. Continue the test normally

​

Best Practices

​

Privacy Recommendations

• Close sensitive applications before starting the test
• Disable notifications to prevent interruptions
• Use tab sharing when possible for maximum privacy
• Clear recent files from desktop if using screen sharing

​

Test Compliance

While FkNeo provides technical capabilities:

• Understand the academic integrity policies of your institution
• Use features responsibly and ethically
• Be aware of potential consequences of policy violations

​

Troubleshooting

​

Recording Prompt Not Appearing

If the test doesn’t prompt for recording:

• Check browser permissions for the test site
• Ensure FkNeo extension is enabled
• Reload the test page with Alt + R

​

Recording Won’t Stop

If you can’t stop the recording:

• Look for the recording indicator in your browser’s UI
• Try clicking directly on the tab’s recording icon
• Use browser’s native stop sharing controls

​

Platform Detecting Recording Stop

If the platform detects when you stop recording:

• This may indicate the bypass isn’t fully active
• Press Alt + R to reload and re-enable all features
• Contact support if issues persist
