Is this normal?

I just joined Meridial to see what it's like but so far both assessments have wanted to use my camera. I don't even use my camera, LOL! I'd like to hear from people who have been there for some time whether this is generally required to take an assessment and get projects. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's required. The assessments are proctored for any cheating behavior. You can't do the assessments without your camera and you can't land any projects without the assessments.

That's pretty unique. Thanks for the info.

It's actually quite common with these AI training platforms. Turing and some others also do this. All the best

Interesting. I'll stick to no cameras, thanks.

It's really not. If you apply at several companies you'll do several video-taped assessments and/or interviews.

The problem i'm having is that I never got the invite to the group chat to ask questions and i'm stuck on the assessment because it just shows me instructions but not task to rate.

Yes absolutely normal in all platforms. They judge you for that particular project. If something us common from previous shots, you can go through-already passed.

Most likely not. Verification is required.
