Question

Adobe Connect application: Implications for participants and presenters

I received the Adobe Connect maintenance announcement that Adobe Connect Add-in is being replaced with a new Adobe Connect application. I also saw in the information on the Adobe Connect application page that you can continue to attend Adobe Connect sessions in browsers with limited functionality. As a host, I have installed the Adobe Connect application for full functionality. I want to make sure I appropriate communicate the appropriate information to both participants and presenters to prevent technical issues once our account is upgraded.

  1. Will participants still be able to watch/listen to the Adobe Connect sessions in their browser without installing the Adobe Connect application?
  2. Will anyone who has previously installed the Adobe Connect Add-In need to install this new Adobe Connect application? (As was the case with the latest Adobe Connect Add-In update)
  3. Will presenters still be able to change the slides in the Adobe Connect sessions in their browser without installing the Adobe Connect application?
  4. Will presenters now ned to install the Adobe Connect application to share their screen or share documents?

Thank you!

The app is the direct replacement of the Add-in. To have the Add-in's functionality moving forward you will use the App.

1. Yes, nothing changes for the participants with the release of Connect 9.7. They (and you) can still join and participate in a Connect session in the browser with Flash Player 13 or newer.

2. Yes, the Add-in will no longer be accepted and they will be prompted to install the App.

3. Yes, the browser functionality doesn't change.

4. Yes. The Add-in was/is required to share your screen or upload a PPTX file. The App is now the tool that is required for those functions.

Thank you so much for your quick confirmations! I anticipate as well that people may continue to watch recordings of Adobe Connect through a web browser with Flash Player 13.0 or newer as before (not necessary to install the Adobe Connect application to watch a recording)?

Thank you again!

Correct, the recordings should still be view-able through the web browser.
