How do I give Turing permissions for screen sharing, camera, and microphone usage?

This article will help allow the Turing engine to record your screen, and access your camera and microphone for usage during the assessments.

Auto disqualification

During the assessment, you must not pause or stop screen sharing/audio/video for any reason more than 4 times, after which they will be auto-disqualified from the test. Note that you will not be able to attempt the test again for 90 days.
