Adobe ConnectThe Main Window

This is the standard layout within Adobe Connect. The host will usually share content via the main window. The right hand side contains panels for webcams, attendees and user chat.

Using Adobe ConnectThe A/V Buttons

1. The Speaker icon allows the user to enable/disable their speakers and it’s drop-down menu allows the user to adjust their volume.

2. The Microphone icon allows the user to enable/disable their microphone and the drop-down menu allows for volume adjustment. This icon is only visible to users when the host has enabled their microphone.

3. The Camera icon allows the user to enable/disable their webcam. In order to share the feed the user must click ‘Start Sharing’ from the video panel on the right hand side. This icon is only visible to users when the host has enabled microphone functionality.

4. The Hand Raise icon allows the user to quickly and silently share their impressions with other members of the group.

Private MessagingThe Chatbox

The chatbox allows users to instant message each other. The feature allows for global chat amongst all member of the meeting(as shown in the left-hand image) as well as private messaging(shown in the right-hand image).

AC Best Practice

• Logon ten minutes early for each session so technical checks can be done.

• Use your first name as your login name when accessing a clas.

• Wear headphones to minimise audio feedback.

• Alert the tutor to lag – the messaging system is best for this.
