You'll wait a bit (maybe half hour, depending) in the waiting room before they call you to the courtroom. If the defendant doesn't show then you don't need to testify. Giving testimony is basically answering questions and clarifying things with the magistrates, sometimes multiple times. Your video may or may not get shown in court depending on the prosecutor's tactics. You won't be able to view the proceedings before it's your turn to give testimony, afterwards you can sit and watch the rest. The prosecutor will brief you in the waiting room first. The toilet might have a coded lock. :)
Two court appearences so far, one of which I didn't need to give testimony. Positive outcomes.
