How do I use Zoom Focus for Test Proctoring?

*This is ideal for perhaps 1-6 students that need proctoring online. Students will need to have 2 devices. A mobile device with Zoom to record the student taking the test. And a computer or similar device to take the test with Respondus. This is also requires the instructor to mute all the students. Only the instructor and student can see each other. Students cannot see one another. If the students are not muted they will be able to hear one another.
