Login Screen Options for Public Meeting

I have created a room that will be open to the public and is configured for access to anyone with the URL. Currently, they still must pass through the login page and enter a Name. Is there a way to do either of the following: A) create a URL that bypasses the login screen and automatically goes to the room itself, or B) remove the Name field from the login screen for this room so that attendees need only click the Enter Room button?

Without a guest or user name, how would they be identified in the meeting room? Point being option B is out, unless you make the room private with the 'Only registered users may enter the room' option, thus eliminating the guest field.

So, you are left with option A. This means that you would have to send everyone a unique URL for the room, with their guest name already populated. Just append the URL for the meeting with ?guestName=Bruce%20Wayne. For example:

http ://batman.adobeconnect.com/thebatcave/?guestName=Bruce%20Wayne

I don't need attendees to be identified in the meeting room. The event

will be simply one-way communication? just a video feed, and audio feed, a

share pod with an uploaded PDF and a caption box. No attendee will need to

be identified in the meeting. Unusual, perhaps, but Connect is perfect for

this.

Perfect, except it requires at least a guest name. There is no way to get around that, short of doing a recorded session by yourself and then distributing the recording link. If you make the recording public, then there is no login credential required, it will just play when someone accesses's it.
