Logged into Navica  when I select "I have a test" does that then take me to Emed?

I believe it did. I can’t remember, but it took me where I needed to be. 🙂 I do have Apple products, so Android may work a bit differently.

Don’t know if this would be helpful at this point, but I set up an account at BOTH eMed (when I purchased tests directly from them) and Navica, when I installed the app. When I was ready to test, mine went smoothly, maybe because of the prior setups.

Can't I just hold the items up to the camera or the back of the camera? Instead of removing from the tripod?

You can but I just leaned my phone against something because as others have said, they used the front and back camera on the phone. It was easier to just pick it up if needed.

So I don't log on to the Navica app just emed.com?

You do the test from emed.com. The results show up in the NAVICA app. Here are the steps I followed:

 

Go to emed.com

Choose Start testing

Choose your state, press start testing

Choose start testing

Select why testing. Choose other

Choose log into NAVICA 

Log in to your NAVICA account

Choose allow to allow basic info to be shared

Answer basic questions (do you have an unopened test available, etc). 
choose join guided session

emed will test device on next screen

Click ready to start test. 
You will be connected to a guide who will walk you through the process. 
 

Your results will appear in your NAVICA app and should also be emailed to you as an attachment.  
 

I suggest printing the results if you can - it seems to go a little faster in line with a printout vs using an electronic version of the results.

So for 2 people-2 accounts-?

 

I see front facing and rear facing camera is needed-what is each used for?

The proctor to see you and then to see the test kit. On a laptop you can use the one camera for both functions.

Yes. 2 tests for 2 people. You may want to get spare tests. I had a problem with one test (the liquid reactant used for the test was dried up). 
 

the rear facing camera was used to read the QR code on the box as well as to read the test results at the end of the test.   The front facing camera is used for the proctor to see you and to watch the test during the 15 minute waiting time.

Yes, so the front facing camera as you are testing is ok? And the regular lens for ids/test id?

Thank you-exactly what I needed to know.

When in the middle of the test when using your phone & the proctor is watching the test does the screen stay on the whole time?

Yes. FYI- You will see the countdown timer on the screen.
