Adobe Connect Overview

APAN uses Adobe Connect for web conferencing and meetings for community participants.

  • Meetings are live, in real-time
  • Adobe Connect no longer uses Adobe Flash.  Adobe Connect uses HTML 5.  This means that there is no need to download Flash software, users can just go right into the meeting via the browser. 
  • To ensure all functionality can be utilized, such as screen-sharing, APAN recommends removing Flash from your browser and computer.  APAN also recommends downloading the Adobe Connect client. 
  • For more info and to download Adobe Connect, click here.
  • If you see FLASH within your Adobe Connect session, speak with your system administrator to remove it from your computer and/or browser. 
    • You can see this by identifying a Flash warning on your browser, or a Flash icon appearing next to your name within your Adobe Connect attendee list, you will need to remove it (or, speak with your system administrator to remove Flash, if you do not have access to do so on that device). After it's removed, Download and install the most recent version of Adobe Connect.
    • Technology is constantly improving, and there are often security upgrades and other changes made to software. Always check for updates well before starting a Connect session, and ensure the most recent version of the client application is installed on your device: https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/connect-downloads-updates.html#Application
  • Meetings are persistent; you only have to create a meeting once.  Adobe Connect is not like Outlook where you have to schedule meeting per event. 
  • This means, that your content will always be available.  Anything that is uploaded, will remain persistent to be utilized again. 
    Refer to APAN Applications Governance section 6 for additional guidelines.
  • Meeting rooms are customizable to serve your conference needs. 
  • If you are a host of a meeting, you may want to ask others to update their Adobe Connect version to avoid problems.  You can identify this information here.
