Cheating on online exams Respondus Lockdown Browser + Honorlock

Hi guys, I know this might be a repetitive question but at the moment I’m currently taking a couple of classes online that require me to use the applications Lockdown browser and honorlock, my usual set up is usually an HDMI cable connected to my HP computer and to my TV and just have a friend tell me the answers through hand signs. This method worked well for me last semester but this semester I’m nervous about it because I’ve been researching and people say it can be detected while others say it can’t so I’m wondering if anyone has recently tried this method and how did it go for yall? Please help me, I’m turning to Reddit as my last resort 😭. Last semester I would plug my cables to my tv and computer first before opening the browser and it would work smoothly but I’m just concerned if this still works or not. If not what are some methods that yall guys are using?
