Can host pause a participant video for all participants? Documentation says yes, but when I test it only pauses on host's screen.

    I believe you are correct. When you pause your live video stream, it pauses for all attendees. When you pause the video stream for anyone else, you pause it for just yourself.

    I don't see anything in the documentation about forcing a pause of others video. Is this the documentation you are looking at? Adobe Connect 9 * Video in meetings

    Thanks, Jorma.  Yes, that is the documentation, and I now see that I probably read it incorrectly.  There's a lightbulb that says "Hosts can pause or stop video from any attendee".  I had read that as meaning "pause for everyone."

    I now see that it meant "pause for the host's screen."

    Stopping the participant's video does stop it for everyone -- including the participant.
