They want to see your face and will disqualify you if you glance away from the monitor too often.

Will they disqualify me if I am naked during the exam?

Yes - they have standards

They don't actually disqualify you (most of these places like https://www.proctoru.com or similar) just report to the exam administrator what they saw/noticed.

Some are even using AI flagging now - https://assess.com/remote-proctoring/

That sounds terrible; I often look away to the side when I am thinking..

I often stare into space (some have said it looks like a thousand-yard stare), I wonder if that would be an issue?
