Judge Kroll publishes an enumerated list of who may appear remotely (youth from school via the School Liaison, parents from jail or treatment, DJJ liaisons, JPOs, case managers, CPIs, volunteer GALs, out-of-state parties) — everyone else moves for leave 3 days out, and no one appears from a moving vehicle.
Florida > Fifteenth Judicial Circuit > Palm Beach County > Juvenile Division JO (Judge Kathleen J. Kroll)
"Youth may appear from school, with prior arrangements being made with School Liaison" / "The Court may also grant remote appearance for other extreme circumstances after the filing of a written Motion to Appear Remotely, no less than three (3) days prior to the hearing" / "Under no circumstances will a participant be permitted to appear remotely from a moving vehicle."

1 verbatim requirement published by Palm Beach Division FC on remote appearance policy.
Judge Hooi does not usually allow hybrid hearings (one side in person, one virtual); if both sides prefer, everyone may appear in person instead; emergencies route through the clerk to a judge-entered handling order.
