At All North we pride ourselves on being able to adapt and change with the times. Videoconferencing is a service for when a witness or lawyer in another city needs to attend a proceeding. It saves time and money, and it’s more environmentally sustainable.
How It Works:
Regardless of where everyone is physically located, each participant connects via a secure, encrypted videoconferencing app. Clients receive an email invitation to a video call ahead of time. If you haven’t used the software before, you (or your IT department) will need to perform a quick guided download and installation.
You’ll then join via your computer or mobile device, and you’ll be able to see and hear everyone clearly. Proceedings take place in exactly the same fashion as they would if you attended in person. Should you need to show a document to the witness, you can present any file from your computer to everyone in attendance. You can even share your own computer screen, if certain documents cannot be shared directly.
What You Need:
The system requirements for our remote solutions are very simple, and your existing laptop should work just fine. You will need:
- A Mac or PC made in the last five years
- A webcam (almost all laptops have these built in)
- Speakers and a microphone (built in on most laptops) or a headset with microphone (e.g. iPhone earbuds)
