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 in addition to 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 as well as 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.
