Recording A Video Conference
Recording a video conference is important for the legal profession on several different levels. First, it allows for the recording of a deposition that could be used in preparation for a trial when a witness or expert may not be able to physically attend court. Second, recording a video conference is essential for Continuing Legal Education (CLE) sessions, enabling members of the legal community to revisit educational material as a reference at a later date. Finally, recording a video conference can be beneficial when hiring individuals for a legal firm, as it helps determine if they would be suitable candidates for the expansion of that office.
The best way to record a video conference is by using desktop software to manage the recording. There are several reasons for using desktop software: it provides better control over the recording for security purposes and helps determine how the recording will be distributed among the participants. Additionally, using desktop software allows the firm or organization to manage costs more effectively since they will utilize their hardware to record and store the final product.
Too often, individuals attempt to use web-based browser software to record a video conference, resulting in inconsistent playback quality or significant costs for storing the recording. Therefore, the best software for desktop recording of a video conference is OBS Studio. Here is a video on how to use this software.
Legal Conferences and CLE
Legal conferences are opportunities for legal professionals to learn about the latest industry trends and earn Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits. Many legal conferences are held in person, allowing legal professionals to network with peers. However, a growing number of CLEs and legal conferences are offered in a virtual format, relying on video conferencing to facilitate the events. Through advanced video conferencing technology, conferences can be accessed using a desktop computer or mobile device. Individuals attending state or nationally-run legal conferences can participate via video and view presentations, including PowerPoint slides and screen shares from the presenters on the subject matter of the conference. Many of these legal conferences help practitioners stay informed about changes in technology and policies related to specific areas of law.
