You can also adjust who is allowed in your meetings, and alter pods.

To start a meeting, simply log into your meeting room. You may then invite others by email or through instant messaging. While here, you can also perform various tasks like writing up notes, specify meeting information, and accept or reject requests to join your meeting.
You have several ways to join a meeting someone else is hosting.
From Adobe Connect Central's home page, click "My Meetings" and then click the desired meeting. Alternatively, go to the Meeting Information page for specific meeting, and join there.
If you received a URL from the meeting host, you can paste the URL into your browser. In some instances, such as via an email invitation, you can click directly on the URL to be taken to the meeting.
If this is your first of a specific type of meeting, you can bookmark it to make the meeting easier to find next time.
As a meeting host, there are several things you can do to manage your meetings.
To invite people to your meeting, navigate to Manage Access & Entry, then click Invite Participants on the drop-down. From here, you may either send an email directly, or copy a URL which you can paste into a messaging app.
You can block users from entering your meeting by selecting Block Incoming Attendees from the Manage Access & Entry option. You can also set your meeting so that incoming attendees must request entry (recommended, especially for large meetings).
Pods allow meeting hosts to divide attendees into specific sub-groups. To alter your meeting's pods, select Pods from the menu bar. From here, you may add, resize, move, show, or hide individual pods.
GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Adobe Connect in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our How Do I Use Adobe Connect? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
