AI Overlay for Pearson VUE OnVUE - IT and Cert Exams on Mac

Pearson VUE's OnVUE service delivers most of the world's remotely-proctored IT certification exams (Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA, AWS, GIAC, ITIL). On Mac, it runs as a downloaded native app that takes over the screen and live-streams to a remote proctor.

OnVUE is a notarized macOS app, not a browser extension. It captures the screen at the OS level using ScreenCaptureKit (on macOS 12.3+) plus AVFoundation for the webcam and microphone. Both APIs read from a frame buffer Apple constructs after applying window-level privacy. Fracture sets that privacy flag the moment its window appears, so OnVUE's capture buffer for that frame skips the Fracture content entirely. The webcam check, room scan, ID verification, and biometric sign-in are unrelated to the overlay and behave normally.

OnVUE checks the running-process list before launch. Fracture uses a randomized bundle ID and innocuous display name (SystemDiagnostics, NetworkService, etc.) per build, so the process name OnVUE sees does not flag.

The room scan is a one-shot 360 video from your phone. The overlay is invisible only to the Mac's screen capture, not to a separate camera. Close it during the scan.

Yes. The proctor sees the same captured frames that OnVUE has already filtered through ScreenCaptureKit. The flagged window is not in those frames.
