What Addons Are Provided?
Record video (record)
Webcam preview (preview)
Enable WebRTC check (webrtc)
Content copy protection (content)
Track metrics (track)
Enable screen capture (screen)
Manual face photography (face)
In this step, the candidate is required to take a photo of their face. That photo is subsequently compared with the photo from the candidate’s profile. The comparison result is either saved in the session record or prevents the transition to the next step.
Manual photography of the passport (passport)
In this step, the candidate is required to photograph an identity document. That photo is subsequently compared with the ID photo from the candidate’s profile. The comparison result is either saved in the session record or prevents the transition to the next step if there’s a mismatch when the 'verify' add-on is enabled.
Upload a scanned copy of the passport (scan)
In this step, the candidate is required to upload an identity document. That photo is subsequently compared with the ID photo from the candidate’s profile. The comparison result is either saved in the session record or prevents the transition to the next step if there’s a mismatch when the 'verify' add-on is enabled.
Mobile camera connection via QR code (qrcode)
Mobile platforms do not support screen capture capabilities. Phone and tablet browsers lack an API for screen recording, so users cannot take videos or photos of their screens. However, the metrics still function. For instance, if a browser tab is opened, it triggers events b1, b2, and b3.
