Acoustic signal when user changes status?

Hello everybody!

I'm quite new to Adobe Connect in the role of a trainer. There ist one function I am missing: an acoustic signal/notification when a user changes its status.

Example: The users have to fullfill a task which takes several hours. As the trainer, I'm online all the time in order to help if needed. But I need to stare at my screen all the time in order to notice if someone has a question. I wish there would be some kind of acoustic signal. Is there something like that? If not, this could be a feature request.

Greetings

Marcel

To use the Doorbell Connect pod, just upload the SWF file to a Share pod in your room (same as uploading a PPT or JPG). It would require the manual pressing of the button when someone's 'status' changed, but that can be the student's method of notifying you that they are done with their task.

If you feel that you need the exact functionality as you described above, you can look to build your own custom pod (should you be savvy with AS3) using the Collaboration Builder SDK found here, Adobe Connect | Adobe Developer Connection, or you could reach out to one of the groups that offers the creation of custom pods. ActiveC is one such company, custom development - ActiveC.biz.

Connect is very unique in providing the ability to create your own functionality should the default options not meet your needs.

You could use the Doorbell Connect pod, or there may be another custom pod that could work. Some of the available pods are found here, Online meeting applications and extensions | Adobe Connect extensions

Hi Jorma, thank you for this tip. The doorbell connect pod looks very interesting. Unfortunately I can't install any pods. And I assume it would be more user friendly if the bell wouldn't be an extra click (perhaps after an amount of time if I don't react on a status change), but an automatism (which can be activated or deactivated).
