How to make Adobe Connect Meeting room open in browsers by enabling Flash in browser or by using the application for desktop.

To launch a meeting in the browser window, install and enable the Flash Player in your browser. If Flash Player is not installed or is disabled, Adobe Connect meeting room does not open in a browser. Instead, it prompts to install the Adobe Connect application.

Adobe Connect in Google Chrome

To attend an Adobe Connect session in Chrome browser, make sure Flash is enabled in Chrome and access the meeting URL. If you have the application for desktop installed, Chrome launches the meeting in the application.

If the meeting is launched in the application from the Chrome browser, then closing all instances of the Chrome browser causes you to exit the room.

Adobe Connect in Mozilla Firefox

Adobe Connect application for desktop does not launch when a meeting is launched from Flash-enabled Firefox 32-bit browser. For first-time users, Adobe Connect application does not get automatically installed when using 64-bit Firefox.

Use any one of the following workarounds:

Use a different browser.
Manually install the application for desktop. Launch meeting directly in the application for desktop.
Disable Flash in Firefox browser and then access the meeting URL.

Adobe Connect in Internet Explorer

As an Adobe Connect 9.7 user, if you cannot load the Adobe Connect Central home page using Internet Explorer 11, switch to a different browser. Alternatively, request your administrator to upgrade to Adobe Connect 9.8.

To install Flash Player in Internet Explorer, see this article.

To use Adobe Connect in IE, enable Flash Player in IE and disable ActiveX Filtering in IE. To do so, see Flash Player in IE.

Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner and click Internet Options.
In the Internet Properties, open the Programs tab and select Manage Add-ons. Enable Shockwave Flash Object. If the plug-in is not available, download it from here.
Relaunch the browser and the meeting room.

Click the Safari menu in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
