Can Respondus LockDown Browser detect cheating?
This is a different league from a normal quiz, and we'll be straight with you about it. LockDown Browser takes over your computer for the exam — here's what that actually means, where its limits are, and what won't help.
YesThe short answer
Can Respondus LockDown Browser detect cheating?
Yes, within limits. LockDown Browser locks your screen so you can't open other tabs or apps, and with Respondus Monitor it records your webcam and flags moments for review. It's a real barrier — and CheatGPT is not built for it.
What LockDown Browser does
LockDown Browser is a custom browser your instructor can require for an exam. While it's running, it takes control of your machine: you can't open other tabs or applications, copy or paste, print, or take screenshots, and you can't exit until you submit. It turns the open browser environment a normal quiz runs in into a locked box.
What Respondus Monitor adds
Many courses pair it with Respondus Monitor, which uses your webcam to record you and your surroundings throughout the exam. Automated analysis flags things like leaving the frame, looking away repeatedly, or another face appearing — and the instructor reviews the flagged clips. That combination is what makes it genuinely hard to beat.
Its blind spots — and an honest bottom line
It isn't all-seeing. LockDown Browser controls the testing device, but it can't see a second phone, a person off-camera, or notes outside the webcam's view. Still, Monitor's recording makes obvious off-screen glances a real risk, so don't treat those gaps as safe.
Straight talk
No browser extension defeats LockDown Browser — it blocks extensions and other apps by design. CheatGPT is for standard, browser-based Canvas quizzes, not locked-down or proctored exams. Anyone promising otherwise is selling smoke.
Frequently asked questions
Can Respondus LockDown Browser detect cheating?
Yes, within limits. It locks down your computer during the exam — no other tabs, apps, copying, or printing — and if Respondus Monitor is enabled, it records your webcam and flags suspicious moments for the instructor to review.
What can LockDown Browser actually see?
On your exam machine: it prevents you from leaving the test, opening other applications, copying, or taking screenshots. With Monitor, it also records video of you and your surroundings and runs automated flagging on that footage.
What are its blind spots?
It controls the device you're testing on, but it can't see a second phone or laptop, a person off-camera, or notes outside the webcam's view. That said, Monitor's video makes obvious off-screen glances risky.
Does CheatGPT work with LockDown Browser?
No, and we won't pretend it does. LockDown Browser blocks browser extensions and other apps by design. CheatGPT is built for standard, browser-based Canvas quizzes — not locked-down or proctored exams.
