Adobe Connect

Adobe Connect is a software solution which can be useful for people who need to arrange regular online meetings with external users.  It can be requested by contacting the IT Service however it is a self-operational service and NUIT can only provide general troubleshooting support advice to users.

The following presentation from the Adobe Connect user Community gives a good overview:

 The main advantages of Adobe Connect are:

  • Minimum requirements for external users to join meetings (normally no software installation required)
    users can join meetings by clicking on a link
  • Ability to share documents, webcams, chat and polls
  • Break out rooms
  • Limit of 100 attendees per meeting
  • Hosts can create and schedule their own meetings
  • Connect meetings can run on mobile devices (ipad, iphone, android)
  • External users can join meetings even if they do not have a webcam/microphone
