Customize the meeting room details

All Adobe Connect rooms use a predefined template with settings for the room URL, audio conferencing details (if applicable), and more. You can use the predefined settings, or customize these settings for any room. For example, you can add account details for an audio conferencing provider so that all necessary integration details are available when you schedule meetings. Multiple rooms can have different customized settings for the invitation.

  1. In the My Meeting Rooms dialog box, select a room and click Customize.

  2. Do any of the following:

    • To add invitation details, type the text and add the URL of the Adobe Connect meeting room.

    • To add audio conferencing (telephony) details, click Phone Settings. This option automatically appends any telephony information retrieved from the Adobe Connect server into the text box, after the current entry.

Update the list of meeting rooms

You can synchronize the meeting rooms associated with a user account on a particular server. Meeting rooms are maintained on the Adobe Connect server, and on your computer for offline work. You can synchronize your local list of meeting rooms with the rooms on the server.

In the My Meeting Rooms dialog box, click Refresh List.

If the currently assigned default meeting room exists on the server, it remains as the default. Otherwise, the topmost room in the list is automatically selected as the default. You can select a new default room from the list, or create a meeting room and set it as the default.
