Microsoft Certification Online Exam on Mac
Microsoft certifications (Azure Fundamentals, Azure Administrator, Microsoft 365, etc.) are delivered by Pearson VUE's OnVUE on Mac for the home variant. Same infrastructure as AWS, CompTIA, and Cisco home-delivered certs.
Microsoft contracts Pearson VUE; OnVUE delivers the home variant on Mac. Setup is identical to other Pearson VUE exams: download Mac app, system check, ID, 360 room scan, live proctor, continuous webcam + screen capture. Capture pipeline honors window privacy; overlay is invisible. AZ-104, AZ-204, MS-900, all use the same OnVUE codebase. Microsoft can revoke certs for confirmed cheating and ban candidates from future exams.
In-center has fewer environmental issues. Online is more convenient. The overlay only applies to your Mac at home.
On-screen calculator in OnVUE only. Physical calculators forbidden.
AI is heavily used for prep (ChatGPT explaining Azure concepts, etc.). The exam itself forbids it.

Fracture runs a native floating overlay that sets the macOS window privacy flag. It is 100% excluded from screen capture feeds, window lists, and proctor recordings.
