My regs specifically say that video monitoring is not an acceptable form of supervision.

We can only use monitors for supervision while kids are asleep and still must physically check on them every 15 minutes. We cannot leave the floor that the children are sleeping on so there’s no running upstairs to use the bathroom even while all the kids nap.

I was told by one of my licensors that if they arrived and I was in the bathroom with the door closed, they could violate me. Luckily, we have to keep the entrance doors locked so it’s not like they are gonna walk in and catch a provider using the bathroom. Just make sure the door is answered quickly when they knock though.
