There will be a total refactoring of the SEB Windows Configuration Tool, and after that it will contain all settings for Win/Mac/iOS. It is not feasible with our developer resources to do this in the current outdated code base. SEB Server contains all settings for all platforms (or at least we're constantly adding all new platform-specific settings). For larger, professional exam providers we expect they test their exams on all supported platforms, so they should own at least one Mac device. I understand this may not be the case for single teachers/small organizations. |

I have faced the same problem. Do I need different SEB configuration files for students who use Mac and students who use Windows? I also don’t know in advance which device they will use. If I create the configuration file on a Mac, is it usable for students who are using Windows? |

Yes, in general the configuration files are certainly editable and usable on either operating system. Most unfortunately and often due to historic reasons, some minor details like the above mentioned may however indeed require the configuration to be edited on a particular operating system, but as @danschlet mentioned, we are working on improving that situation and will try to start the refactoring of the configuration tool for Windows this year. |

I installed SEB 3.10.1 for Windows, and configured the SEB for use on both Windows and macOS. As HxTrinity states above, I could not find the settings to grant access to the camera and microphone (in the settings for macOS). I just want to know whether I need to configure the SEB on macOS itself, to be able to see and set the camera and microphone access settings. |

Yes, that is correct (for the time being). |

I have a student who has a MacBook and I made the .seb file on Windows, as that is my OS.
For hours we was trying to get her MacBook to allow her webcam and microphone to join the Teams call through the safe exam browser (I provided the link on the Moodle Quiz), but it kept denying permissions.
After scouring the web, I found that there is an option I can enable which is allow video (webcam) and microphone in the .seb config but I could not find it. The way I resolved it was to use someone else's MacBook and create the .seb config option on there, as the "enable video and microphone" options can only be found in the SEB Configuration tool for Mac. This then finally allowed her to turn her webcam and mic on through Teams.
What is strange is that there are options on the Windows SEB configuration tool for people who are sitting the exam on MacOS, but the allow microphone and webcam options cannot be found. Is there a reason on why that setting can not be found on the Windows version and only on the Mac version or am I just mistaken and I can't see it?
In the future, if I want to set this up, how can I allow webcam and microphone permissions without switching over to MacOS? I don't own a Mac, I am only temporarily borrowing it.
