      How do I upload exhibits before my deposition on Steno Connect for Zoom?

      Exhibits can now be uploaded to your Firm Dashboard in advance of a deposition so they're ready to use when you start the remote proceeding.

      First you will need to link your Firm Dashboard with Zoom. You can do this through your Firm Dashboard account or the Steno Connect App for Zoom.

      Uploading Exhibits on the Firm Dashboard:

      2. Under the Upcoming Jobs section, find the proceeding for which you would like to upload exhibits
      3. Click on that proceeding
      4. Once the page loads scroll down to the Unmarked Job Files section
      5. Either select files from your computer or drag and drop them right to the page

      Once files are uploaded, you will have the ability to sort, delete, or download them.

      Collaboration of Unmarked Exhibits Within the Firm

      • When a user on the FD uploads unmarked exhibits to their job page on the FD, those unmarked exhibits will be viewable to everyone from the firm. This means that if someone uploaded the exhibits on the FD, someone else from the Firm could retrieve those unmarked exhibits in the Zoom app during the depo.

        • Use case:

          • Sarah the paralegal (sarah@law.com) uploads unmarked exhibits on the Firm Dashboard for Tom (tom@law.com) the attorney's job.

          • Tom, the attorney joins the Zoom room, signs into his FD account (tom@law.com) in the Zoom app, and sees the unmarked exhibits that Sarah (sarah@law.com) uploaded.

      • If two people are from the same firm and working on a job together (and both have Firm Dashboard accounts), they can see each other's unmarked exhibits when they upload them through the Zoom app during the depo.

        • Use case:

          • Tom and Bob are attorneys with firm dashboard accounts connected to the Zoom app. The job starts, and Tom uploads unmarked exhibits to the Zoom app. In this example, Bob will also be able to see the exhibits that Tom uploaded in the unmarked exhibit section of the Zoom app
