Steno Connect is a videoconferencing and exhibit-handling platform for remote depositions and remote bench trials.
What Steno Connect is
Steno Connect is a videoconferencing and exhibit-handling platform for remote depositions and remote bench trials. Integrated with Zoom, it lets legal teams upload, preview, number, present, annotate, and download exhibits during meetings. Supported files include PDF, PNG, JPG/JPEG, TIF/TIFF, Word, and PowerPoint; uploads can be up to 5 GB, while presentation mode supports files up to 60 MB. Zoom features such as breakout rooms, chat, messaging, and different video views can be used alongside it. Steno Connect also integrates with Steno’s Firm Dashboard for preparing exhibits before a deposition. The Zoom desktop setup requires a Windows or Mac computer, Zoom desktop client, and Zoom account; Zoom Business or Enterprise users may need administrator approval. Steno recommends the web app for participants unable to access Zoom, but the web version lacks Present and the ability to annotate and save annotated exhibits. Participants can enter the room and upload or mark exhibits starting one hour before the scheduled deposition; the room and exhibit page close 24 hours after the job’s scheduled start time. Pricing is available on request.
