To attend an Adobe Connect session, you can use the Adobe Connect application for desktop for Adobe Connect 9 and later. The IT departments can deploy these clients for Hosts, Presenters, and participants across their organizations using silent installation method.
See Adobe Connect application for desktop article to know more about the application.
Install the Adobe Connect application (and other updates) from the Downloads and Updates page. The Adobe Connect application works only for Connect 9 and later versions.
Installation of the Adobe Connect application does not require administrative privileges. The stand-alone installer installs the application inside a custom directory structure as opposed to the system directory structure. Your Adobe Connect account administrator can make it mandatory to install the Adobe Connect application to join a meeting, a training, or a webinar.
Note:
Close all the running instances of the application before installing a newer version.
During the installation process, you can choose to create Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts for the Adobe Connect application. This feature is supported in Windows only.
The IT administrators can use Microsoft SCCM to deploy the application using MSI across all machines in their organizations.
The MSI installer is available on the Downloads and Updates page. The installer supports /l option for logging. For more information, see command-line options at MSDN.
Note:
If you are an individual user, directly download the relevant application installer from the Downloads and Updates page. Do not use the MSI installer.
During the installation process, IT administrators can choose to create Start menu and desktop shortcuts for the Adobe Connect application by using the icons command-line parameter with the following options:
- 0 or no value (does not install any icon)
- 1 (installs the desktop shortcut icon)
- 2 (installs the Start menu shortcut icon)
- 3 (installs the desktop and Start menu shortcut icons)
This feature is supported in Windows only.
Adobe Connect versions earlier than version 9.0 continue to work using the old add-in. The IT administrators can deploy the old add-in across multiple machines in their organizations using a silent, command-line installation method.
