Witness Without Video
Sometimes, a witness may join an event without a video. If this happens, and none of the troubleshooting steps are successful, following the protocol below:
- Confirm counsel are okay with continuing the event.
- Stipulate to the identity of the witness without a camera, using the following script:
- For the record, the witness is appearing by audio only for this proceeding. Accordingly, do both sides stipulate to my administering the oath to this witness?
- When you swear in the witness, confirm they are raising their right hand before proceeding.
- Swear in the witness as usual, and continue the proceeding.
