Adobe Acrobat Connect

Three steps to your first meeting

You can start your first online meeting in three basic steps:

1. Create an account.

To start a meeting, you need your own Acrobat Connect account. You can create an account by visiting Adobe.com or by clicking the Start Meeting button found in software applications such as Adobe Acrobat 8, Adobe Reader 8, and some Microsoft Office programs.

2. Invite attendees.

There is no need to schedule a meeting in advance with Acrobat Connect. You can invite someone to a meeting on the spot, or at a specific time, by simply communicating your meeting URL. For example, you can paste the URL in an instant message or send it in an e‑mail invitation. When you are logged in to your meeting room and an attendee uses the URL to access it, you are notified immediately and must either accept or deny the request to enter your room. (Attendees cannot access the room unless you are there.)

3. Share your screen.

Now that you and other attendees are in the same room, you can use screen sharing to collaborate and communicate. Click Share My Screen in the center of the Share pod to get started. From there, you can choose to share your whole desktop, or only specific windows or applications.
