Sidebar Room Introduction (Attendee)

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 deposition room. All attendees have access to Sidebar rooms as long as the deposition 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.

Quick Take: Sidebar rooms are never recorded and can be locked from inside the room, so all conversations are secured.
