What You Need to Participate in a Zoom® Video Hearing

Category: 
Zoom FAQ
Answer: 

Participation requires a device that supports Zoom®. Supported devices include computers, tablets, and smart phones running either the Apple iOS or Android operating systems. In order to use Zoom®, your device must have a camera, microphone and speaker.  

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. 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.

Participation does not require a Zoom® account. Prior to the hearing, the Court will post or otherwise provide you with connection information consisting of: a URL (internet address), a Meeting ID, and a Password. 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.  

Pre-registration is not required and there is no fee for participating in a Zoom® video hearing. You are strongly encouraged, however, to download the Zoom® app, test your equipment, and test your connection to Zoom® at least one day before the hearing. You may do so by following the same directions for "How to Join a Zoom® Video Hearing."
