WHEN PARTICIPATING IN A ZOOM HEARING:
Please keep in mind that everyone can see what you are doing. Act as if you are in court, including how you dress and behave.   

  • Think about your location and find a quiet private location with minimal distractions and to maintain confidentiality.  
  • Try to setup your camera in a steady place about arms-length away where it can capture your headshot.
  • Log on a few minutes before the hearing, so you can test your video and sound quality.
  • If the hearing before yours is running late, you might sit in a “waiting room” where the screen says “waiting for host to let you in” don’t worry- you are in the right place!

Court specific details can be found at:
