Abstract
A document management system integrates with a video conference system to ensure that proper electronic witness procedure is performed for document validation. The document management system accesses a video conference between a user and an electronic witness, and then instructs the user to electronically sign the document while the electronic witness observes. The document management system receives confirmation that the electronic witness observed the video of the user electronically signing the document. The document management system combines and stores portions of the video conference that correspond to the electronic witness's validation of the document.
