What content can I share in an Adobe Connect web conference?

Body

Hosts and presenters (and participants who have been given rights) use the Share pod to display content to attendees.

Content you can share:

  • Selected items on your computer screen, including one or more windows, one or more open applications, or the entire desktop. See Share your screen.

  • A document, such as a presentation, Adobe PDF file, FLV file, a JPEG, or other file format. See Share a document or PDF.

  • A whiteboard with various writing and drawing tools. You can share a stand-alone whiteboard, or a whiteboard overlay that appears on top of other shared content. See Share a whiteboard.

Except for PDF files, attendees can view all documents shared in the Share pod but cannot download them. To enable attendees to download non-PDF documents, a host or presenter must instead use the File Share pod.

Installing the Adobe Connect Add-in

Presenters and hosts must install the Adobe Connect add‑in the first time they attempt to upload content or share a screen. The add‑in is a special version of Flash Player with additional features for hosts and presenters. The add‑in provides support for uploading PPTX files to the server and sharing screens during a meeting. You can install the latest add-in (and other updates) from the Downloads and Updates page.

Note: Installing the add-in is not necessary to upload files of all the supported types, except PPTX files. Former can be uploaded from the browser too.
