If you are host, start a meeting by logging in to your meeting room and then invite others through email or instant message. Meetings can be spontaneous or prearranged.
When you enter a meeting room, you can perform setup tasks for attendees. For example, specify conference information, accept or decline requests to join the meeting, rearrange pods, and type notes.

You can launch an Adobe Connect meeting room in the Adobe Connect application for desktop. If you do not have the required Adobe Connect application, Adobe Connect prompts you to download and install it. An administrator can make it mandatory for everyone to install the Adobe Connect application to join an Adobe Connect session.
To make it easier for attendees to get familiar with an Adobe Connect meeting room, animated tips are displayed when they enter a meeting room. The tips are role-based and differ for hosts, presenters, and participants. The tips or guided hints showcase the primary workflows for a role. You can click Do Not Show This Again to switch off the guided hints. You can relaunch the in-meeting tips animation from Help > Show Tips for Adobe Connect in the meeting room.
After a user checks Don't show this again, the user can launch the tips animation from Help > Show Tips for Adobe Connect in the meeting room.
While in the meeting room, hosts can invite people to attend a meeting. A host can choose to block access to a meeting, and allow or disallow requests to enter a blocked meeting.

注意：
When you select the option Anyone who has the URL, your room is publicly available. Any content uploaded to your room, is also publicly available. Any user who has the URL can access the uploaded content without your knowledge.
Hosts can show and hide, add, delete, rearrange, and organize pods. More than one instance of a pod (except the Attendees Pod, Q&A Pod, Video Pod, and Engagement Dashboard) can be displayed in a meeting at the same time.
註解：
Adobe Connect administrators can change pod, sharing, and other settings to adhere to standards for governance. These settings affect the layout of meeting rooms and what you can do in meeting rooms. For more information, see Working with compliance and control settings.

menu. (For pods that can have multiple instances, select the instance
name from the submenu.)
A check mark appears next to the name of pods that are currently visible in the meeting.

When a user is taken to a new system generated Meeting room, the user can either enter a more meaningful name and URL for the Meeting room. Alternatively, the user can continue with the system generated name and the URL. Also, the user can click More Settings, in the left pane, to launch Adobe Connect Central and configure the meeting room. For example, if the user, as a meeting host, wants to associate an audio profile with the meeting room.
註解：
In a new user account, if a meeting is created in the My Meetings folder, the new user is taken to My Meetings folder, instead of a system generated meeting room.
Attendees join a meeting as a guest or as a registered user, depending on the options chosen by the meeting host.

Select Enter As A Guest. Type the name to be used as your identifier in the meeting. Enter appropriate values in the guest access fields, for example email id and contact number and click Enter Room.

If you are the administrator of a hosted account, Adobe Connect displays the terms of service (ToS) by default. To log in to a meeting, first acknowledge that you have read and agree to the ToS.
If you are a user, ToS is not displayed for hosted accounts. You can log in to a meeting before the ToS expires even if the administrator hasn’t accepted the ToS yet.
For shared site accounts, the ToS are displayed when you first log in to Adobe Connect either as an administrator or a user. To proceed, acknowledge that you have read and agree to the ToS. Select the check box on the screen to indicate that you have read and agree to the ToS and Adobe Online Privacy Policy.

If the administrator for your meeting has activated client-side certificates, the Select Certificate dialog box appears when you attempt to enter a meeting. The dialog box prompts you to select a certificate to verify your identity. An administrator may have enabled a compliance Term of Use notice. Accept this notice to enter a meeting. (For more information, see Working with compliance and control settings.)
Hosts can place participants on hold to temporarily restrict meeting room access to hosts and presenters, letting them prepare materials. Audio conference calls are placed on hold.
Hosts can end a meeting to remove everyone, including hosts, presenters, and participants. Audio conference calls are disconnected. If an Adobe Connect account is billed by the minute, you can prevent unnecessary charges by explicitly ending a meeting when a meeting is not in session.
You can write an On Hold or End Meeting message without interrupting the meeting. This feature lets you compose the message during the meeting and then send it at the appropriate time.
Pending requests and notifications are displayed in the menu bar. This feature gives you a unified view of requests and notifications, and you can act on them. Notification and request icons display if you have pending requests.
A. User entry request B. Raise hand request C. Notifications D. Recording notification
