Zoom's breakout rooms allow participants to split from the main session into smaller, private discussions—perfect for confidential attorney-client communications during virtual hearings. Judges and clerks can assign participants to rooms, ensuring that discussions remain secure and off the record. Zoom’s interpretation tools add an additional layer of accessibility, enabling real-time multilingual support for defendants, plaintiffs, or witnesses who require it. Combined with features like sign language interpretation view and live transcription, these tools ensure that all participants can fully engage in the judicial process.

Zoom includes a robust set of in-meeting security controls that give court administrators complete authority over participation. Features such as waiting rooms, passcodes, and two-factor authentication restrict unauthorized access to sensitive hearings. Hosts can remove disruptive individuals instantly, disable participant chat when needed, and enforce authentication requirements tied to specific domains or accounts. These security and management features allow courts to maintain order and confidentiality while minimizing disruptions.

Zoom supports both fully virtual and hybrid courtroom configurations, giving courts the flexibility to adapt to any case requirement. Features like spotlighting allow judges to highlight critical speakers such as witnesses, attorneys, or jurors, recreating the dynamics of an in-person courtroom. Immersive view places participants into a shared, realistic layout, helping to simulate the physical courtroom setting. Tools like screen sharing, whiteboards, and advanced noise suppression ensure evidence can be presented clearly and without distraction—whether participants are physically in the courtroom or connecting remotely.
