Setup and Add a New Deposition

To begin using CoPilot, you can add a new deposition. Add goals to the deposition, and then begin recording. The first page of the CoPilot lists all existing depositions and their statuses. 

Add a New Deposition

On the main depositions page, click + Deposition in the top right corner. In the deposition’s page, click on the title (by default, “New Deposition”) to change the deposition’s name. 

Add Goals

Add up to 15 goals for this deposition. The CoPilot will analyze whether these goals have been accomplished throughout the deposition, using references to the transcript that you can review. 

Goals cannot be added or edited after the recording is started, so make sure that you add and finalize all your goals beforehand. Choose from the list of suggestion goals, or click + Add a goal. Enter or change the subject and goal text. 

Click Save and add additional goals. 

Begin Recording

Once your goals have been added, you are ready to begin recording. You can record either using your own microphone or by having the copilot join the meeting.

To record with your microphone, click Record With Mic. The recording will begin immediately, using your device’s microphone. Click Pause to stop the recording. Click the square icon to end the recording, and the circle icon to play. You can also click Source to change the source to a meeting link.

To record from a meeting, click Record From Meeting. Enter the link from your meeting. When you join the meeting, you will see “Filevine DepoCopilot” added as a user. Nearly any meeting link will work here—simply include the entire link you would normally click on to join a meeting.  If a password is required, include it in the link.  

To change recording settings, first pause the recording. Click Settings to view and update the meeting link. Click Source to switch to recording with your mic.

You can pause the recording and resume at any time. However, once you’ve clicked End Recording, you will no longer be able to record for that deposition.

Once a deposition has been created, it will appear in the deposition’s list on the main page of the copilot, where you can edit and view it. To learn more about handling created depositions and reviewing the copilot’s analysis, read Deposition Review.

Depositions List

Once a deposition has been created, it appears in the depositions list on the main page of Depo Copilot. This list includes the status (not started, paused, or ended), the name, and duration of the recording so far.

You can search depositions by their names using the search box at the top right.

You can also rename or delete a deposition from this list. Click on the vertical ellipsis for that deposition to view these options.

Note: Once a deposition has been deleted, it cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when deleting depositions.
