Sidebar Rooms are designed as in-person conference rooms for off-the-record conversations. Once all necessary participants enter their designated rooms, there’s an option to lock the room, so no one else can enter. Once the room is unlocked, you’re able to return to the proceeding room. All attendees have access to Sidebar rooms as long as the proceeding is off the record and the recording has stopped. You can not enter Sidebar Rooms if the recording is in session. Sidebar Rooms are NOT recorded and only the Host and Co-Host will have the ability to unlock the locked sidebar rooms.

1. All attendees have access to enter any of the four available Sidebar Rooms of a deposition. We recommend identifying designated Sidebar Rooms prior to entering Sidebars 1-4 to ensure participants enter the appropriate rooms.

   
   

2. Once all participants enter their designated Sidebar, you can click the blue lock to prevent others from entering.

   You can see all attendees who are present in the Sidebar Room listed on the right side of the screen.

   
   

   Once a Sidebar Room is locked and the blue lock button changes from blue to red, additional attendees cannot enter.

   
   

3. After completing your conversation, unlock the room, and click the Return to Proceeding button to return to the main proceeding room.
