VERIFIED ON MAC Exam Environments

AI Overlay for Pearson VUE OnVUE - AWS, Cisco, CompTIA, Microsoft on Mac

Updated October 2026 · 3 min read · Tested with LockDown Browser v2.1.6.01

Pearson VUE OnVUE is the dominant online-delivery channel for high-stakes IT certifications worldwide. AWS, Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA, Oracle, ISACA, EC-Council, and PMP all route their remote sittings through the same OnVUE secure-browser app and live human proctor.

OnVUE on Mac is a notarized native binary, not a browser extension. On launch it forces background apps closed, blocks task switching, captures the screen via ScreenCaptureKit on macOS 12.3+, and streams the resulting video plus webcam and microphone over WebRTC to a live human proctor. The proctor watches your exam in real time and can pause, warn, or revoke the session. OnVUE also enumerates running processes before launch looking for known screen-share apps, remote-desktop tools, and VM indicators.

OnVUE walks the process list before launch matching against known bundle IDs and binary names. Fracture ships with a randomized name per build.

No. The proctor receives the WebRTC stream OnVUE constructs after ScreenCaptureKit has filtered the flagged window out.

The room scan is a one-shot 360-degree video from your phone or laptop camera. Close the overlay window during the scan.

OnVUE gaze tracking watches whether your eyes leave the screen, not where on the screen they look. Reading the overlay keeps your eyes pointed at the monitor.

Yes. AWS-SAA-C03, all AWS Specialty exams, and AWS Cloud Practitioner all run on the same OnVUE codebase.
