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.
