The circuit-wide Division MG residential-foreclosure procedures (shared by Chief Judge Davis, Judge Kreider, and General Magistrate Floyd) limit remote appearances to routine case-management conferences and non-evidentiary hearings of 15 minutes or less, or uncontested matters; contested matters with witnesses and evidence are generally in person. The probate division publishes the same 15-minute remote threshold.

Most hearings set for 30 minutes or less are conducted by Zoom in CV-A; the setting order/notice prevails. Telephonic appearance is allowed if opposing counsel doesn't object — request it when scheduling.
In CV-B the parties agree whether attendance is Zoom or in person; hybrid is permitted, and the Notice of Hearing must state Hearing Room 701 with the division's published Zoom ID (275-150-7351).
In CV-C, appearing by Zoom is a privilege (log in five minutes early; Court hosts); presenting testimony remotely — any hearing or non-jury trial, any length — requires a written motion showing good cause under Rule 2.530(b)(2).
