Issues were reported with the livestream due to the technology involved as it was similar to a conference call, meaning that observers had to mute their microphones and switch off cameras or risk impacting proceedings, which did happen a number of times.

This is bonkers. I’m not a coder or a viewer of livestreams, but it is surely trivial for whichever software provider to create a version in which there are two classes of participant, one that can speak and one that is permanently muted. Is this just the UK courts being shit with technology? It’s been five years since they started doing this, is it really the case that no one has looked into a better solution than whatever they are currently using?

I know you can have more than one person on the same substack stream.
