PCWorld: Quick, Easy Web Conference Setup With Adobe Connect 8
Adobe has worked to make the Connect 8 interface more streamlined and intuitive and added robust whiteboarding and note taking features.
“Have you ever participated in an online meeting or video conference where you’ve logged in at the correct time–or ten minutes early as directed by the meeting invite–and then sat through thirty minutes or more of frustration and troubleshooting as the meeting leader tries to get everyone connected and get the presentation working right? Adobe introduces a variety of new features and capabilities in Adobe Connect 8 designed to make the entire online meeting process smoother and more intuitive.
If you have ever participated in an online meeting, the scenario described above is probably a familiar one. It is not uncommon for a 15 or 30 minute meeting to take an hour or more as the technical glitches and hurdles are worked out.”
