## How to Verify Your Device

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the demo test link">
    Visit the demo test to confirm your device and browser are compatible:

    [Take the Demo Test](https://autoproctor.co/tests/bj0yv14Ufu/load/)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Grant camera, microphone, and screen share permissions">
    When prompted, allow your browser to access the camera and microphone. You will also be asked to share your screen — select **Entire screen** and click **Share**. If any of these permissions fail, your browser or device may not be supported.
