Platform/Coordinate
Virtual Hearings & Meetings
Run magistration, hearings, and live check-ins over native, browser-based video, with nothing for the public to download or install. Send a one-tap join link by text, verify who joins, and record it all. Prefer Zoom, WebEx, or Teams? Connect those too.
The problem
Remote hearings shouldn’t require the public to download anything.
Defendants, probationers, and the public often can’t, or won’t, install special software, so magistration and check-ins stall on the technology instead of the matter at hand. eCourtDate’s native, browser-based video lets anyone join instantly from a texted link on any device, with no app and no account. When a court prefers Zoom, WebEx, or Teams, those connect too.
What it does
Every capability inside Virtual Hearings & Meetings: built in, configurable, and connected to the rest of the platform.
Native, Browser-Based Video
Host meetings on eCourtDate’s own video: no downloads, no apps, no specialized software for participants. They join from any device with a link.
Virtual Magistration
Judges and magistrates conduct remote initial appearances and arraignments, including from jail booking, without moving anyone.
Live Video Check-Ins
Probation and pretrial officers run face-to-face check-ins by video, ideal for small groups and one-on-one appointments.
One-Tap Join Links
Send join links by SMS and email through Messaging. Recipients tap once and they’re in.
Bring Your Own Provider
Already standardized on Zoom, WebEx, or Teams? Schedule and launch those sessions from the same place.
Identity Verification
Confirm who is joining with one-time-password and optional photo verification before the session starts.
