This new Audio Conference section gives meeting hosts access to virtually all of their audio configuration settings – something that was only available in the web application (Adobe Connect Central) previously. More importantly, we’ve added a new ‘Audio Conference’ section in the preferences menu. We’ve renamed the old ‘Audio’ preference to ‘Microphone’ since it was specific to using VOIP and microphones. In all cases, we saw opportunities to make the audio workflow more intuitive and easier to use for meeting hosts and participants. We looked at how customers use audio in their Adobe Connect meeting rooms – some use integrated audio from our audio conferencing partners, some use our universal voice feature to incorporate audio from any audio conference, and others use voice over IP with their own microphones. You can now see who’s accessed the recording and how long they viewed it. If you’ve moved your meeting recording to the content library, Adobe Connect 9.1 delivers improved tracking. Rather than logging in, a user must enter which passcode the meeting owner has created. You can set it to private requiring everyone to log in with a unique username/password, you can set it to public requiring no authentication, or you can set it up as a public recording requiring a shared passcode. This gives you complete control over who can access a recording. In addition to the MP4 recording service, we’ve also given customers the ability to passcode protect their public recordings. Customers can purchase conversion minutes in packs of 5,000 by contacting their reseller. This new server-side MP4 conversion is a paid service that is sold based on number of minutes converted. The meeting owner can them come back a few minutes (or hours depending on how many recordings are in the queue) later, and the MP4 will be waiting for her. The meeting owner can simply choose to ‘Make MP4′ and the recording will be added to the queue for converting. ![]() The conversion is done completely on the server. This approach also enables you to download the MP4 so that it can be distributed locally or used with popular video sites like YouTube and Vimeo. Simply click on a link and Adobe Connect can automatically stream the video directly to the mobile device. This means that you don’t need to download or install a mobile client to view the recording – MP4 is native to virtually every mobile platform. Rather than adding functionality to our mobile client, we’re offering a new server-side conversion service that will automatically convert your Adobe Connect recordings into the universal MP4 format, host them in the cloud (on your Adobe Connect server), and stream them to any device. With Adobe Connect 9.1, we wanted to go even further than that. ![]() The most common feature request for our mobile app is adding support for viewing recordings. We’re proud to be one of the highest rated web conferencing apps in both the iOS App store and Google Play store. Recording & Playback EnhancementsĪdobe Connect Mobile – our mobile client for attending live meetings, seminars, and virtual classrooms has been a tremendous success. These new features impact virtually every part of the product, so I’ll group them into four sections: recording & playback enhancements, audio & video enhancements, event module enhancements, and training module enhancements. ![]() We’ve listened to what our customers have told us is important and taken this opportunity to deliver those features starting today. What’s so great about this update is that virtually every new feature is based on feedback from our customers. We’ve setup a widget on our downloads and updates page that will give you a more specific timeframe as to when your account will be upgraded. We’ve also begun rolling out the upgrade to our hosted accounts. In terms of timing, Adobe Connect 9.1 is available today for our on-premise customers. ![]() The release notes, available here, contain all of the details, but I’ll describe some of the highlights in this post. Today, I’m extremely pleased to announce the next release of Adobe Connect 9.1.Īlthough this is a “dot release”, it adds more than twenty new features to Adobe Connect and resolves more than one hundred issues.
