Your capabilities for sharing, broadcasting, and other activities in an Acrobat Connect Professional meeting are determined by your role. There are three roles for meeting room attendees: host, presenter, and participant.

The creator of a meeting is designated as the host by default. The host can specify each attendee’s role, including selecting other attendees to be hosts for the meeting. Permissions for each role are as follows:

Host

Hosts can set up a meeting, invite guests, add content to the library, share content, and add or edit layouts in a meeting room. They can promote other participants to the role of meeting room host or presenter, or give enhanced permissions to a participant without promoting the participant. They can also perform all the tasks that a presenter or participant can.

Presenter

Presenters can share content already loaded into the meeting room from the library and share content from their computer, including Acrobat Connect Professional presentations, slides (PPT files), Flash application files (SWF files), Flash Video files (FLV files), and images (JPEG files). They can share the screen, showing it on the Stage of all attendees, and they can chat, and broadcast live audio and video.

Participant

Participants can view the content that the presenter is sharing, hear and see the presenter’s audio and video broadcast, and use text chat.
