Ask a launch questionnaire

Ask each student up to five questions, such as a student ID or a section, before the camera check.

The Launch Questionnaire asks each student a few questions before the exam, for example a student ID, a section or a seat number. Each exam can ask up to five questions. You see the answers next to the recording.
