      If it's the software I'm thinking of, to efficiently protect her privacy she'll need to:

      • Put it into a VM
      • Record herself on webcam doing innocuous stuff beforehand and then play back the feed in a loop to make the software believe its filming (doable with V4L stuff on Linux for example)
      • Do something similar with her microphone

      If the aim is simply to cheat with her having no problem being filmed and recorded though, then yeah, a VM should be enough. However, those software also have (shitty) countermeasures against VMs; you need to specifically modify the VM so that the usual virtual devices have different signatures and so on (not that hard to do, there are howtos online).

        granted this isn't possible for everyone, but my way around this stuff is to run it on my laptop (which also has the only webcam I own) which is set up right below my main PC screen. Type answers and do calculations on the laptop, CTRL+F an offline copy of the textbook and/or use wolfram alpha on the real computer.
