Adobe Connect runs on in almost any web browser on both MAC and PCs. You require an up to date version of Adobe Flash and the Adobe Connect add-in to use Adobe Connect.

Getting started

Hardware

• You require a headset (including headphones and a microphone) to use audio in adobe connect meetings. This provides better quality audio and prevents audio reverberation.
• Optionally: web cameras can be used.

Participants please note: To talk, or activate your camera, you will need to be given the rights to be use the Voice and Camera Pods by a Presenter or by the Connect Room Host.

Software

• To start, run this diagnostic check on the computer you intend to use.
• If prompted, it is highly recommended that you download the Adobe add-in at the end of the diagnostic check. Some features of the room may not function properly without it.
  The plug-in can also be downloaded from this page: http://www.connectusers.com/downloads/
