Prevail Sessions Application

When you join a Session, you are taken to the Prevail Sessions application, where live proceedings take place. During a Session, Prevail Members have access to specialized Session panels and familiar video conferencing tools. Prevail provides in-Session tools for adding flags to rough transcripts, presenting files and media to participants, creating video clips, and marking exhibits with annotations.

Once a Session has ended, users who have purchased Session Review can access video of individual participants and materials created or introduced during the Session. This includes the rough transcript, flags, clips, and all exhibit files. Flags and clips are also available but remain private to the creator.

All Prevail Sessions include a Host and technical support staff to ensure you have the best experience possible.

Join a Session

Once a Session is scheduled, all participants with an email address on file will receive a direct link to join the Session. When you follow the link, you will be directed to the Session sign-in page, where you can either sign in to your account or provide your name and email address. Invited Prevail Members will be taken directly into the Session, while guests will be admitted into the Session by the Host.

Prevail Session Roles

You can participate in Prevail Sessions as a Guest, a Prevail Member, or a Session Host.

Guest

If you do not log in to Prevail, and join a Session by being admitted from the Waiting Room, you are accessing Prevail in the Guest role. Guests have limited permissions, such as view-only access to certain Session panels. Prevail Members and Hosts can invite Guests, including deponents or witnesses, to join a session by sharing the direct Session link. Guests cannot view the Session after it is complete. If you later sign up for a Prevail account using the same email that you used in the waiting room, you will see that Session in your Dashboard and you will be able to order Session Review access for that Session.

Member

If you sign up for an account with Prevail, additional features are available, including a Dashboard of past, present, and future Sessions you are invited to, and additional features within Sessions, such as the ability to send chat messages or present exhibits. In order to sign up for an account, you must confirm your email address as instructed. Until this is done, the account cannot be used.

Session Host

A Session Host can admit people from the Waiting Room and mute or remove Participants. Prevail may provide a Session Host to fulfill the role and responsibilities of a court reporter or Session Manager (respective to State laws), including the authority to swear in witnesses, stamp exhibits, and start and stop proceedings. Hosts also support participants by answering questions and assisting with technical difficulties.
