The basics of Connect meetings

Adobe Connect Meeting can be best described as an online live conference software for multiple users. It is a web-based application that you can use to run an online conference meeting. The meeting room interface is combined from various components and a number of display containers that are named pods. By using the pods functionalities, meeting room provides several features for multiple users who play the role of meeting attendees.

Users have the ability to chat, broadcast live video and audio, share files, share computer screens, or use other interactive functionalities while using the meeting room. You will learn how to use all of those functionalities in the later chapters of this book.

In addition to the predefined default layouts, you can customize your own meeting room according to your needs. This feature will be explained in detail in Chapter 10, Customizing Pod Display.

Every meeting room that is created in the application is assigned its own URL address, and it is available until you delete it. You can access your meeting by clicking on the assigned URL, and you can use the same URL address to enter created meeting rooms several times. In Chapter 2, Creating an Adobe Connect Meeting Room and Chapter 3, Managing Adobe Connect Meeting Room, you will learn how to create and manage your own meeting rooms.

Based upon your assigned role, you will have different capabilities in a meeting. In order to successfully use meeting rooms, you must have an Internet connection, any modern browser (for example, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer), and an installed version of Flash Player. Minimum requirement is Flash 10.1 for AC8 and 10.3 for AC9.
