A primary focus of Adobe® Connect® 8 software is usability. With a new simplified interface featuring enhanced layouts and better organized controls, accessibility functions, and one-click sharing, Adobe Connect is now more powerful and easier to use. New usability features include:
Simplified user experience
Use Adobe Connect more intuitively. With the new user interface, you can easily discover all available functions and features through better organization and prominent display of the most important and frequently used controls and capabilities.
Enhanced audio and video controls
Access audio and video controls centrally. Controls are prominently displayed and logically organized at the top of the meeting bar. All related capabilities are now centralized and easily accessible directly from each control.
Unified attendee management
Access all participant management functions from the Attendee pod. Hosts can change participant roles via drag and drop and assign rights using mouse-over controls. New views allow presenters to quickly get vote counts and control breakout sessions.
Optimized screen use
Size your screen area for optimal viewing with a new meeting interface that rescales intelligently for any screen size or resolution. Presenters can now size their own version of the presenter-only area individually without affecting the view of other presenters.
Improved accessibility
Navigate the Connect 8 interface completely via keyboard. Several hot keys are also supported for direct access to important functions. Improvements in screen reader compatibility include JAWS and Win-Eyes support and accurate focus-location tracking.
To collaborate effectively, dispersed teams need to be able to share ideas and communicate freely, as well as capture decisions and results. With Adobe Connect 8, collaboration capabilities are now more flexible and robust, enabling teams to drive better results. New collaboration features include:
Advanced chat
Organize chat into separate tabs for public and private conversations to reduce errant chat messages. Participants can choose the color and text size of their chat messages. Hosts can control whether private chats are allowed in a meeting room.
Rich Notes pod
Use rich formatting capabilities in the Notes pod, such as bold, colors, and bullets. Productivity and accessibility improvements include keyboard shortcuts and the ability to save notes as an RTF file that can be emailed to participants from within the pod.
Simplified Q&A pod
Enhanced Whiteboard
Collaborate more effectively with enhanced Whiteboard tools, including the ability to create custom shapes and to easily add text to shapes. The whiteboard can also be used in the overlay mode on top of a shared document.
Adobe Connect 8 enables you to provide rich multimedia experiences for participants with integrated audio and video conferencing. New features include:
Two-way Universal Voice
Bridge the audio from any audio conferencing provider into an Adobe Connect room and provide two-way communication between VoIP and telephone audio to deliver richer experiences for all participants.
Video conferencing integration
Busy professionals working on multiple projects with global teams need to be able to track down key people, instantly collaborate, and respond quickly to meet deadlines. The optional Adobe Connect Desktop client allows workers to do just that. Plus, new and enhanced plug-ins for Microsoft Outlook, Adobe Creative Suite® 5 software, and Microsoft Communication Server clients improve productivity, as does an enhanced collaboration SDK. Access and extensibility features include:
New optional desktop client
Set up and manage meetings more easily with the new optional Adobe Connect Desktop Adobe AIR® client. Invite participants to meetings right from their desktop. You can also search for archived sessions and download and play back recordings offline.
New and enhanced plug-ins
Use the Microsoft Outlook Add-in to schedule meetings with your Outlook contacts. Using Microsoft Office Communicator, see when contacts are available, and then invite them to meet using their existing IM client, or via the Adobe Connect Desktop AIR client.
Enhanced collaboration SDK
Write to more than 100 APIs to add virtually any functionality to Adobe Connect you desire. The new SDK also supports Flex, Adobe Flash® technology, and ActionScript® 3.0 for even more engaging online collaboration.
Adobe Connect 8 is web conferencing software for the enterprise. With strengthened security capabilities and improved support for virtualization and meeting resiliency, Adobe Connect is even more suited for enterprise deployments. New features include:
Passcode-protected meeting rooms
Set and manage passcodes over some or all meeting rooms to better manage participants and control meeting access. Passcodes require meeting participants to log in, protecting sensitive information.
Session management
Manage meeting session length for strengthened security and finer-grained control of user sessions. Allow users to hold sessions for as long as necessary, while ensuring that idle sessions time out, reducing the risk of unwanted meeting access.
Thin-client support
Provide rich-media collaboration in virtualized environments with support for Citrix XenApp 6. Now organizations can deploy rich, engaging web conferencing software throughout the enterprise while enjoying the lower TCO and increased agility of thin-client virtualization.
Ubuntu 10 Add-in
Experience full-featured meeting host capabilities with a new add-in for Linux® Ubuntu users. Now Linux users have the same capabilities Windows® and Mac OS users do when hosting meetings.
