Is there a method to increase font size in Adobe Connect session?

I have a 4k screen on my laptop.  Websites scale fine but when I am in an Adobe Connect session, the scaling is way off and the font size seems to be something like .5 pt, if that.  Is there a way to increase the font size of the Adobe Connect sections?  Changing resolution on my laptop does not fix the issue.

That is the resolution I get no matter if I am at 3840 x 2160 or 1024 x 768.  It is too hard for my shared screen to be read by others.

I believe the ActiveX one is for IE/Edge, the other one is for Firefox. Chrome has it's own Flash Player that it managed and updated by Chrome. I'd have to use the Google to identify where it lives. Since you have the ActiveX one, and applied the settings, do you see an improved experience using IE/Edge?


That's it! Using the .exe.manifest fix (http://www.danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/) on FlashUtil_ActiveX.exe in C:\Windows\SysWOW64(32 if on a 32 bit OS)\Macromed\Flash and then opening in Internet Explorer works! The scaling works on my 4k screen!

I've actually had great success with other software using this fix: http://www.danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/g

The thing is, I can't seem to find an actual .exe file for Adobe connect to use it on. I tried adobeconnectaddin.exe, but it only fixed the scaling on the loading window. Does anyone know if there is an actual Adobe Connect .exe file that this fix might work on?

You can try applying it to Adobe Flash Player, the application that Connect runs in.

I don't seem to have either of those on my system... Is it possible that those are Firefox plugins? I only use Chrome...

Windows applications aren't all that friendly with 4K resolution yet... There is a setting you can change that adjusts the audio scaling of items in the control pannel under display. Play with that and see if you can find a setting that works. As I recall with my wife's Lenovo Yoga with a 4K monitor, that setting helped with some applications and not on others.
