The menu bar contains several menus: a host sees the Meeting, Present, Layouts, Pods, and Help menus; a presenter or participant sees only the Meeting and Help menus. All attendees see the meeting room connectivity indicator.

In the right corner of the menu bar, the colored bar indicates the connection status of the meeting room. Messages and warnings also appear in this corner. A red circle in the menu bar indicates that the host is recording the meeting.

Using the menu bar, you can access the following features:

Meeting menu

Lets you switch between the original size and a full-screen view of the meeting room and (if you’re running the Acrobat Connect Add‑in) exit a meeting. By selecting the Audio Setup wizard, you can test your speakers and set the volume levels for your microphone. A host can use this menu to invite participants to a meeting, record a meeting, or stop the current meeting, as well as change room background, set room bandwidth and screen resolution, manage the meeting room using Acrobat Connect Enterprise Manager, and allow all participants to enter the room as presenters.

Present menu

Lets hosts show and hide the Presenter Only area; change the attendee type to host, presenter, or participant; enter Preparing mode; and change the display of the host cursor.

Layout menu

Lets hosts customize the meeting room’s layout (for example, to view, add, delete, move, or resize pods).

Pods menu

Lets hosts add pods and content to a layout, and organize and lock existing pods.

Help menu

Lets you test the type of Internet connection you have, and access help and troubleshooting information. Hosts, presenters, and participants have access to all Help menu commands.

Meeting room status

Indicates the connection status of the meeting room. A green bar means that the room connection is optimal. A gray bar with a twirling icon indicates that you have been disconnected, and Acrobat Connect Professional is trying to reestablish your meeting connection. Roll over the twirling icon to view a tooltip with a link to a Troubleshooting page, if reconnection is not successful.

Secure Sockets Lock

Indicates that the meeting is connected over a secure socket (verifying the host server’s identity).
