What is Adobe Connect ?
Adobe Connect (formerly Macromedia Breeze) is a web conferencing and data collaboration tool. It provides you with a virtual meeting space for sharing your presentations, images, and desktop applications with remote participants. You can also take advantage of features like a digital whiteboard, text chat, polling, and audio/video broadcasting. To attend your web meeting, your participants need only a Web browser with the Flash plugin (almost all computers have this already) and (ideally) a broadband Internet connection
Why might I use Adobe Connect ?
- To deliver online presentations to remote participants
- To invite remote guest speakers to present and collaborate
- To collaborate with remote partners without having to travel (cost savings)
- To provide remote desktop support and training
