This article delves into the possibilities that could offer a facial recognition program to guarantee the identity of the user in virtual learning environments, emphasizing those aspects that could improve in teaching, and the challenges presented in relation to the user experience. Also, the acceptance that students could have about the implementation of this application is discussed. To that end, a pilot experiment based on a survey study has been performed with 67 students who used this technology within Moodle. The results show a positive perception, where responses to all the questions were within the interval from 5.54 to 6.15 in a seven‐point Likert scale.
