When
you are host, starting a meeting is as simple as logging in to your
meeting room and then inviting others, through e‑mail or instant
message, to do the same. Meetings can be spontaneous or prearranged.
When you have entered the meeting room, you can perform tasks
to set up the meeting for attendees, such as specifying conference
information, accepting or declining requests to join the meeting,
rearranging pods, and typing in notes.
Enter a meeting room
Do one of the following:
-
From the
Home page in Adobe Connect Central, click My Meetings, and click
the Open button for the desired meeting.
-
In Adobe Connect Central, navigate to the Meeting Information
page for a specific meeting and click Enter Meeting Room.
-
Click the meeting URL in the e‑mail invitation that you have
received. Type your Adobe Connect login and password, and then click
Enter Room.
-
Enter the meeting URL in your browser. Type your Adobe Connect
login and password, and then click Enter Room.
The first time you visit a meeting room, bookmark
it for quick access the next time you want to start a meeting.
Start a meeting using the Start Meeting button
The Start Meeting button is included in software
applications such as Adobe Acrobat® 8, Adobe
Reader® 8, and some Microsoft Office programs.
As a meeting host, use the Start Meeting button to access your meeting
room login screen or to set up a new Adobe Connect account.
Note:
In
Acrobat 9 and Reader 9, you can use Adobe ConnectNow, a personal
web-conference tool, for online meetings.

If the Welcome To Start Meeting dialog box appears, click
Create Trial Account to set up a new account or click Log In if
you already have an account.

URL, login, and password, and click Log In.
Note:
In Acrobat 8 or Reader 8, your meeting preferences
determine how much login information you have to enter before your
meeting room opens. To change your Acrobat or Reader meeting preferences,
select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Acrobat >
Preferences or Reader > Preferences (Mac OS),
and then select Meeting on the left.
Set meeting room bandwidth
The
host sets meeting room bandwidth to determine the rate (kilobits/second) at
which data from the meeting is sent to attendees. Choose a room
bandwidth that matches the connection speed used by attendees. If
attendees are using a variety of connection speeds, choose the lowest
speed attendees are using to ensure that all participants have a
good connection.
-
Choose Meeting > Preferences.
-
In the list on the left, select Room Bandwidth. Then
select one of the following options:
-
LAN
-
One presenter can generate around 250 kbits/second
of data. Attendees need around 255 kbits/second. If screen
sharing is used, attendees should have 400 kbits/second.
-
DSL/Cable
-
One presenter can generate around 125 kbits/second
of data. Attendees need around 128 kbits/second for a good
connection. If screen sharing is used, attendees should have 200 kbits/second.
-
Modem
-
One presenter can generate around 26 kbits/second
of data. Attendees need around 29 kbits/second for a good
connection. Having more than one presenter with the Modem setting
is not recommended. Screen sharing with the Modem setting is not
recommended.
