It takes a bit of time but the process is very convenient and secure. I liked the multiple options the system gave me to start the recorded video chat, I started with my laptop, and all of sudden my mic was not configured, so I switched to my phone in a matter of a few seconds. Well designed!
It was lovely the guy was great and professional and nice

I love how I was able to understand the instructions of the id.me. Easy to use and they help you easily. But what I don't like is the video agent. She rolls her eyes when I couldn't understand her at first. Just because I was confused what would be the best answer to her question. Unprofessional and she looks like she doesn't like what she's doing.
