Door-Dash Zoom Remote Depositions

Thursday, March 19, 2020

Camera dropped off at the witness’ house - just like Door-Dash delivery: there’s no contact of any kind
Camera ready-to-go with tabletop tripod and one microphone
Witness points camera at him/herself and hits RECORD. Camera records to high-quality SD card (this recording is independent and so not subject to any internet/Zoom issues)
Zoom, Cisco Webex, or Microsoft Teams video connects all parties, including the reporter
Realtime stream of the transcript available on any remote device
To take a break, or if the witness needs to confer with counsel, he/she may leave the room and communicate via cell phone with the attorney
Slightly wider shot to make sure the witness stays in frame and is not communicating via cell phone during depositions
No risk of losing dropped/garbled words from the witness since the camera is recording. We send MP3 of audio to the reporter which contains complete and clear audio
Camera is picked up off of the porch after the deposition
Video and text are synchronized as usual

A short video tutorial showing how this works will be coming soon. If necessary, before a deposition we can speak with the witness for 5-10 minutes to guide them through setting it up.
