# What is Proctoring?
> What is Proctoring and when to use it in your interview.
While Zara uses AI to conduct intelligent and adaptive interviews, some candidates may attempt to **cheat** using external tools or assistance to improve their performance. Common tactics include:
* Using **multiple screens**
* Consulting **mobile devices**
* Receiving **off-screen help**
* Leveraging AI companions like **ChatGPT**, **Copilot**, or others to generate answers
To maintain interview integrity, you can enable **Proctoring** — a feature that allows Zara to monitor candidate behavior and detect suspicious activity during the interview.
### How Proctoring Works
Proctoring can be enabled per interview via **Advanced Settings** when creating or editing an interview.
When enabled, candidates must:
* **Share their entire screen** with Zara
* **Use a webcam** throughout the interview
* **Limit their setup to one screen**
During the interview, Zara monitors and logs the candidate's environment and actions.
After completion, the data is analyzed using the [Ava Model](https://www.micro1.ai/model/ava) — micro1’s most accurate proctoring model, with a **93% success rate** in detecting cheating.
Each proctored interview receives a **Proctoring Score**, along with a breakdown of flagged behaviors.
Zara also detects whether responses are likely **AI-generated** and alerts you accordingly.
Zara allows you to **enforce proctoring** across your entire account or on a per-job basis.
When proctoring is **enforced**, any action that prevents Zara from applying proctoring rules — such as **adding a second monitor**, **cancelling screen sharing**, or **turning off the webcam** — will result in the interview being **suspended**.
Candidates may **resume the interview** once they **revert the action** and comply with the proctoring requirements.
