Scheduling a session in Adobe Connect enables seamless virtual meetings, webinars, and online training sessions. By leveraging Adobe Connect’s robust features, users can create, manage, and customize their sessions to fit specific needs. Whether you're hosting a small team discussion or a large-scale event, Adobe Connect provides a flexible and powerful platform for seamlessly managing your sessions.
You can create meetings in Adobe Connect Central. Every meeting has a static URL (meeting room) and persists even after you close it. You can use this URL to relaunch the meeting. Meeting hosts can customize the URL when creating the meeting.
You can use the meeting room anytime to run 25-participant meetings for trial. Configure the meeting room with content or layouts before you start the meeting. However, participants can log in to the meeting 15 minutes before the scheduled time. If a meeting room is created, smaller meetings can run at any time without scheduling.
