Steno Connect review
A focused Zoom workflow for presenting, annotating, and managing deposition exhibits remotely.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Steno Connect is Steno’s remote deposition technology for attorneys, witnesses, court reporters, and legal videographers. Its primary use is Zoom-based deposition work, with tools for uploading exhibits before or during a proceeding, privately previewing files, presenting materials, and marking them during the session. Participants can access the service through the Zoom app or a browser, while Guest Mode supports meeting participants. It is best suited to legal teams that want exhibit handling closely connected to a remote deposition workflow rather than a general-purpose document presentation tool.
Its strongest fit is the combination of Zoom integration and exhibit management. Exhibits can be uploaded through the Steno Firm Dashboard before a proceeding, then presented, annotated, shared, automatically numbered, and saved as marked exhibits. The platform also includes technical assistance during proceedings, along with optional exhibit support, videography, and equipment delivery as part of Steno’s deposition services. Windows, macOS, and web browser access broaden participation for users who cannot use the Zoom app. Teams already coordinating proceedings through Steno will find the Firm Dashboard and Steno Job ID workflow particularly relevant.
Steno Connect is less suitable for teams seeking a standalone deposition application with independently published pricing or a broad integration ecosystem. The product is tied to Steno proceedings, and exhibit handling outside a Steno Zoom meeting requires a Steno Job ID. Deposition video recording and synchronization are available as optional capabilities, so organizations that need recording as the central workflow should evaluate those services separately. Choose Steno Connect for structured remote exhibit presentation with Zoom and Steno support; consider an alternative when independent deployment, broader integrations, or recording-first workflows matter more.
