Multi-Viewer & Remote Viewing

Remote viewing with colleagues

Watch with colleagues... from home.
Earn CPD credits.

Remote Viewing, using Zoom or Skype, is the perfect way for lawyers to watch CPDonline videos together when at home. The Multi-Viewer feature allows everyone to earn CPD credits while doing it.

During Covid 19 isolation:

  • Live, in person, CPD events are cancelled
  • Some Law Societies still require lawyers to watch some, or all, CPD videos in the presence of a colleague. See Jurisdictional Allowances
  • Viewing, and chatting, remotely counts as, ‘in the presence of a colleague’.
  • All CPDonline video content is eligible towards your required 2021 CPD hours
  • This service is for CPDonline subscribers only:
