“At trial, the witnesses' testimony must be taken in open court unless a statute, the Rules of Evidence, these rules, or other court rules provide otherwise. For good cause, or on agreement of the parties, and with appropriate safeguards, the court may permit testimony in open court by contemporaneous transmission from a different location. A party must give notice if a witness is unable to testify orally or if testimony by contemporaneous transmission may be necessary.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Zuraff v. Reiger · Regan v. Lervold“The words “appear,” “appearing,” or “appearance” are words of art in the legal sense. Black’s Law Dictionary 94 (7th ed. 1999) defines “appearance” as “[a] coming into court as a party or an interested person, or as a lawyer on behalf of a party or interested person.” There are a number of cases in which this Court has written on whether or not a party has made an “appearance” for the purposes of requiring notice before default judgment may be entered. Generally we have broadly construed the term “appearance” for that purpose.”

Above all, in testimony by telephone the trier of facts is put in a difficult, if not impossible, position to take into account the demeanor of the witness in determining the witness’ credibility.”
