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, presenting files and media, creating video clips, and marking exhibits.

After each Session, videos of individual participants and materials created or introduced during the Session are available to Prevail users with Session Review access. 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

Prevail Session participants include Guests, Prevail Members, and Session Hosts.

Guest

Guests are participants who join a Session from the Waiting Room without signing in to Prevail. Guests have limited permissions, such as view-only access to certain Session panels. Prevail Members and Hosts can invite Guests, including deponents and witnesses, during a live Session to join by sharing the direct Session link.

Guests do not have access to view completed Sessions or access materials. To access Session materials, including video footage, transcription, and shared files, log in to your Prevail account.

If you do not have an account with Prevail, register using the same email address you used to join your Session. Once logged in, you can view your Sessions on your Dashboard and Sessions pages. To use an alternate email address, please contact Customer Success at CustomerSuccess@prevail.ai

Prevail Members can access additional features, including a Dashboard displaying recent Sessions and the Sessions page containing your past, present, and future Sessions.

Session Hosts oversee and manage Sessions, including admitting, muting, and removing participants. Hosts also support participants by answering questions and assisting with technical difficulties. Prevail may provide a Session Host to fulfill the role and responsibilities of a court reporter or Session Manager (respective to State laws), with authority to admit or remove participants, swear in witnesses, stamp exhibits, and start and stop proceedings.
