Your webcam should be unobstructed and positioned properly, showing your face and at least half of your body, and the actual environment while taking the exam. However, you may pause it during your break. Please do not close the tab or browser window as it will disconnect the proctoring session, and your exam VPN may be paused on our end. There is an option to hide your webcam feed on the proctoring page window if you do not like having it opened on your end.
