Adobe Connect 9.5

This Sunday evening, Oct 18th, at 11p ET, Adobe Connect will be upgrading to version 9.5.  Here is information from Adobe Connect about with to expect in the new version:

  • The first thing you may notice is the new Adobe Connect logo with a fresh updated look.
  • New features include HTML content support for virtual classrooms, MP4 offline conversion, event registration on mobile devices, improved account usage reports and more.
  • For more detailed information please visit the Adobe Connect User Community site, connectusers.com, for an overview of new features and tutorials.
  • Adobe Flash Player 13.0 is now officially the minimum requirement for attending meetings. To receive optimal performance, we recommend that you get the latest version. Download the latest Flash Player.
  • This update will require a new Adobe Connect Add-in (henceforth referred to as simply “Add-in”) for functionality specific to meeting presenters on Windows and Mac. You will be asked to install the new Add-in when:
    • You try to start/join a meeting for the first time after the Fall release and have an older version of the Add-in installed
    • OR
    • You invoke screen sharing, application sharing, or share PowerPoint (PPTX format) files and do not have the new version of Add-in installed

You can register for a demo, hosted by Adobe Connect, here.
