Screen sharing on browser

 

Learn how to share your screen in Adobe Connect session when joined from the browser.

Hosts and presenters joining from browsers in immersive A/V Experience-enabled rooms can share their screens without requiring the Adobe Connect desktop application. Screen sharing on a browser allows hosts to present web content directly to participants, enhancing the virtual meeting or webinar experience. This capability is beneficial for demonstrating web-based applications, navigating websites, or presenting online content in real time.

Effective screen sharing involves preparing the browser in advance, closing unnecessary tabs, and ensuring sensitive information is hidden. Hosts can use this feature to provide a smooth and interactive viewing experience, making their presentations more dynamic and engaging.
