As explained below, you may use this information to connect to the Zoom® video hearing through an internet browser and/or through the Zoom® app. Prior to the hearing, the Court will post or otherwise provide you with connection information consisting of internet address and a Meeting ID. Participation does not require a Zoom® account. If you are using a computer to connect to Zoom® video, you also may use your telephone (and its headset) to access the audio portion of the hearing. You may use the microphone and speaker integrated in your device but are encouraged to use a separate headset (with microphone) to reduce feedback and improve audio quality. In order to use Zoom®, your device must have a camera, microphone and speaker. Supported devices include computers, tablets, and smart phones, running either the Apple iOS or Android operating systems. Participation requires a device that supports Zoom®. The Clerk of the Court maintains an audio recording of all proceedings, which recording constitutes the official record of those proceedings. Violation of this prohibition may result in the imposition of monetary and non-monetary sanctions. Important: All persons are strictly prohibited from making any recording of court proceedings, whether by video, audio, 'screenshot,' or otherwise. We hope this guide will assist you in using the Zoom® video platform to participate in court hearings.
