At IU, what is the Adobe Connect Meeting Service?

Adobe Connect Meeting provides Indiana University faculty and staff with a web collaboration tool for administrative meetings and academic classes. Web collaboration, or web conferencing, provides a virtual environment for sharing presentations, images, and desktop applications with remote participants. Adobe Connect Meeting also offers audio and video conferencing, text chat, a digital whiteboard, and polling. Adobe Connect Meeting requires a web browser with the Flash plug-in and a broadband Internet connection.

Note: Adobe Connect was originally named Breeze, so you may hear both terms used interchangeably.

Adobe Connect Meeting works as follows:

1. A host with a Connect Meeting account logs into the Connect Manager to create a meeting room with a unique URL. The meeting host communicates the URL to meeting attendees, who can then open the meeting in a web browser. Attendees do not need a Connect Meeting account to join the meeting; they can simply log in as a guest.
   
   
2. Once in the meeting, the host can broadcast audio and video, share a computer screen or presentation, and text chat with attendees. The host can also promote individual meeting attendees to allow them to do the same.
