Adobe Connect Community

Where can I host a meeting from a large room (lecture hall/conference room) while making the meeting available via Adobe Connect? This is a popular question for those of us who consult and support Adobe Connect. There are so many variables involved that it's sometimes hard to know where Adobe Connect will work from the podium of a large classroom, lecture hall, auditorium, or conference room. Below is a list of rooms where we’ve used Adobe Connect successfully.

*Foster Auditorium - Pattee Library
*101 Ag Science and Industries Building

One requirement to allow Adobe Connect to work properly is to make sure the presentation is conducted within Adobe Connect meeting room and performed from a hard-wired high speed network connection. Normally, we suggest this connection be the podium computer since that is normally where the presentation is conducted.

An additional hard-wired network connection (mobility port) is needed if you plan for a moderator in the same room. Most of the technology classrooms have an additional network connection available for use at the podium.

Some sort of stand alone microphone is needed. The mic needs to feed into the podium computer for Adobe Connect (the in house microphone will not work with Adobe Connect). One of the microphones that we've used is the Logitech Desktop USB microphone for PC/Mac. This works well, but you need to stay close to the microphone so the Connect attendees can hear.

If you have other equipment or rooms that work well with Adobe Connect, can you please post through this forum?
