Adobe Connect Community

Presenting to a dispersed audience generally involves a speaker (or multiple speakers) presenting to users who have remotely logged in to Adobe Connect. This scenario necessitates more preparation and planning than a small group meeting.

If some users are dispersed (logging in individually) and some gathered together, this scenario is covered in the Complete Mixed Meeting Hosting Guide under Hosting Meetings.
