Intuitive Interface
A new interface designed for optimum usability and access provides meeting hosts, presenters and participants with easier access to capabilities, which, for example, allows presenters to quickly and flexibly adjust meeting room layouts in real time, as needed.
Collaboration/Extensibility
An enhanced collaboration SDK, with support for Adobe Flex, Adobe Flash and Adobe ActionScript 3, allows developers to integrate Adobe Connect with other systems or create custom capabilities that meet an organization’s unique Web conferencing requirements.
Video Conferencing Integration
Adobe Connect can be integrated with existing video conferencing systems, enabling meeting hosts to bring live audio and video broadcast streams directly into an Adobe Connect room.
Desktop Client
Adobe Connect Desktop, based on Adobe AIR, lets users set up and manage meetings right from the desktop. The optional application also allows users to download recorded sessions for offline viewing.
Mobile Applications
Adobe Connect Mobile enables participants to view meetings on mobile devices. Adobe Connect Mobile works on Apple iPhone and iPad, as well as Google Android and other mobile devices enabled with Adobe Flash technology.
