What’s new in Adobe Connect 8

Now you can significantly improve collaboration across your organization with Adobe® Connect™ 8 software. Powerful new capabilities including a simpler and more intuitive user interface, enhanced audio/video features  for richer participant experiences, a new optional desktop client for improved access, an enhanced software development kit (SDK) for even greater solution extensibility, and tighter session management for increased security. With these new features, Adobe Connect 8 makes your web meetings, online training, and webinars more efficient, more effective, and more engaging than ever.

Work with a simplified interface

A new, more intuitive user interface provides meeting hosts, presenters, and participants with even easier access to capabilities, allowing presenters, for example, to quickly and flexibly adjust meeting room layouts in real time, as needed.

Collaborate more efficiently

To collaborate effectively, dispersed teams need to be able to share ideas and communicate freely, as well as capture decisions and results. Enhancements to the sharing, chat, video, notes, Q&A, and whiteboard features, as well as other functionality, significantly improve teams' ability to complete work quickly and efficiently.

Enjoy richer audio and video experiences

Integration of Adobe Connect with existing videoconferencing systems enables meeting hosts to bring live audio and video broadcast streams directly into an Adobe Connect room.

Get improved access and extensibility

Adobe Connect Desktop, based on Adobe AIR® technology, lets users set up and manage meetings right from the desktop. The optional application also allows users to download recorded sessions for offline viewing. An enhanced collaboration SDK, with support for Flex, Adobe Flash® technology, and ActionScript® 3.0, allows developers to create custom pods or integrate Adobe Connect with other systems.

Take advantage of increased security and enterprise support

With strengthened security capabilities including passcode-protected rooms and enhanced session management, along with improved support for virtualization and meeting resiliency, Adobe Connect offers even more advantages for enterprise deployments.
