Video Timestamps
Within the video, you will see two timestamps shown in military (24‑hour) format:
  • L: This represents the local time on the users computer
  • The other time displayed is our servers local time.
Time Stamp
Info
If these two times do not match, it indicates that the user’s system clock is out of sync. This may affect how the recording is displayed. Updating the students system clock should resolve the discrepancy .

    Video/Screen Icons: 

    Plus sessions display video and screen-recording icons indicating enhanced recording availability.

    Video Icon - Live un-blurred video was recorded
    Screen icon - Live screen share was recorded

    Black - Sessions with the black icon have not been remuxed. These will take additional time to load before play.

    Available Recordings

    Green remux video/screen icons


    Alert

    If the video does not enter the cue after you click Play, please contact BSI Support for assistance.
    InfoRemuxing, short for "re-multiplexing," is a video processing method that involves taking the contents of one multimedia file (such as an MP4, MKV, or AVI) and rewrapping them into another file format. This process does not alter the original encoding settings or modify the audio or video and instead makes it readily available to play without buffering.



    Sprite Bar: If you see a bar under the webcam and screen share icons that means you can see pe-loaded sprite images on the timeline. These sprite images help you more quickly locate sections of the timeline that you might be interested in.

    True Face ( Selfe Comparison ) - BioSightPlus-ID ONLY
    True Face matches users against their own established identity throughout their institutional journey. The system displays a side-by-side comparison of the user’s face from a past BSI interaction alongside their current BioSightPlus-ID session.
    Example image:
    A brown haired male provided a selfie taken during BioProof-ID enrollment. The current BioSightPlus-ID session displays a secondary red haired male was presented.
    True Face - Side-by-side Comparison
    Baseline Image Sources
    • Enrollment Selfie: Captured by the user during their initial BioProof-ID completion, at the same time they submitted their government documents.
    • First Session Image: Captured during the user's first-ever BioSightPlus-ID session. True Face matches against this initial image—rather than the most recent session—to prevent "identity creep," a vulnerability where a user might gradually be replaced by someone else across different courses.
    • Comparison Not Found: This status indicates the user has not yet completed a prior BioSightPlus-ID or BioProof-ID session, meaning no historical baseline image is available for comparison.
    True Face - Comparison Not Found

    Warning
    WARNING - If you detect a discrepancy between the two images, consult your institution's internal investigation department rather than notifying the user directly, or taking action. Note that some users may be permitted to have a secondary human present as part of an approved ADA accommodation.
