Question

Is it possible that all users access meetings with urls and passwords?

Hello,

I have a Java based portal and want to use the Adobe Connect from the portal. The portal includes the people connection details: the names, emails and phone numbers. I don't want to replicate the contact details to the Adobe Connect.

Is this use case possible with the Adobe Connect:

1. In my portal the user creates the meeting room and invites the people to the meeting (the portal uses the web services API, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/connect/9.0/webservices/index.html).

2. The portal sends the email and text message invitations (the portal can send the emails and text messages). The invitations include:

         -the meeting url for the web participants and the password

         -the phone number for the phone participants and the password

3. In the meeting time the participants join the meeting in the internet or by the phone (the normal voice phone)

I have found out that it is possible to generate the meeting and url for the meeting with the web services API.

I found out that the participants, which access the Adobe Connect with the url will be guests.  The guests don't have rights to use the microphone etc. But is it so that the meeting host is needed? I read that in the Concurrent User license model (http://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/kb/named-host-license-update-faq.html) every user can host the meeting. Is this a solution for the problem?

Is my use case possible?

BR,

Mika

    Hi Mika,

    First. Your project is possible, however complex.

    Second. You will need a concurrent on-premise license and provide each participants with certain pre-defined credentials when joining the meeting room (as Jorma writes).

    Third.The telephony integration must correspond with the specific meeting room to combine phone calls with Connect VoIP. (Making sure people are dialling into the same conference call as defined in the set-up for the specific meeting room).

    You need to understand how Connect works - and then spend time describing the workflow in details. When you have done this - a deep dive with the API - can get you there :-)

    Thanks for the answers,

    It seems that I would use the Concurrent User license and the Adobe Connect would be installed on my own server.

    The use case is:

    Our portal                                                                    Adobe Connect

    1. The host creates the meeting in our

    server and selects the participants from the

    portal contact database.

    2. The portal asks the

    the Adobe Connect to create the meeting

    and reply the meeting url

                                                                                         3. The Adobe Connect creates the meeting and replies the url of the meeting (and the phone number)

    4. The portal sends the invitations in the emails

    (url + password) and text messages (phone

    number + password)

    5. The host and the participants start the meeting

    in the internet (they use the url + password) or

    with the phone

    (could be the old voice phone)

    (they use the phone number + password)

                                                                                         6. The meeting is kept in the Adobe Connect

    Do you think this is possible? How could I test this (the internet meeting, phone calls, web services etc) before buying the license?? I have used the trial site, but it seems that there are the Named Host license and not the Concurrent User license.

    BR,

    Mika

    You should contact your local reseller:

    http://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect/strategic-partners.html

    They will be able to help you getting the test license you need for a limited period. As for the coding - you will have to do that yourself - or pay someone to do it.

    As for your 6 points description I would call it a project scope. Your next step would be to define a detailed product scope. I think Enterprise clients would require and pay for a Proof of Concept (PoC).

    Mika,

    A couple things are at play here.

    First, is your licensing for the meetings. Do you have a Named Host license or Concurrent User license? The Named Host model requires that a name individual (in the Meeting Host group) is present in the meeting to 'activate' the full functionality of the room. The Concurrent User model allows anyone in the room to be given host or presenter rights and have full functionality of the room while they are in it.

    Second, is how elevated rights work in a meeting room. Guests will always join as Participants of the meeting room. Registered users will always join as a Participant unless they have been given elevated rights to the room a head of time. If you want anyone joining the room to have presenter level rights, you can turn on the option to Auto Promote Participants to Presenters (Meeting > Manage Access and Entry > Auto Promote Participants). The Auto Promote functionally will only work in a Named Host model when the host is present in the room.

    Your use case is possible, but it may require having the Concurrent User model, unless you have specific individuals who are always hosting/managing the room, as they could then be the Named Host activating the rooms.
