How to initiate and manage video feed in Adobe Connect virtual meetings using the Video pod and webcam.

Video Pod in Adobe Connect allows Hosts and Presenters to share a webcam video feed with the participants to make the virtual sessions more engaging and useful. Adobe Connect supports a myriad webcam video sharing options.

When you create a meeting, by default, the option Enhanced Audio/Video Experience is enabled.

Enable this option for improved audio and video including increased resolution, clarity, smoothness, and reliability. All attendees can join from a modern browser, from the desktop application, or from the latest mobile apps. A few things to note:

  • You cannot join a meeting from Classic mobile apps.
  • Meeting recordings will be available as MP4 videos instead of the interactive format.

For more information on what's supported and what's not in Enhanced and Standard modes, see the Capability matrix.

Hosts, presenters, and participants with enhanced rights can simultaneously share video from webcams connected to their computers. You can select the webcam feed to broadcast if you have multiple webcams working. If a user changes the selection or a connected webcam is unplugged, the change happens in real time. Also, Adobe Connect remembers this setting for your future meetings.

註解:

Adobe Connect administrators can change pod, audio, and video settings to adhere to standards for governance. For more information, see Working with compliance and control settings.

Supported video layouts and aspect ratios

Video feeds in a meeting are displayed in the Video pod in either Filmstrip, Grid or Single Speaker layout. Hosts, Presenters, and participants with enhanced video rights can set a video feed as the primary video from among all the video feeds.

In Full Screen mode, the Title bar is not visible and only the video feeds are displayed. Hover the pointer at the upper edge of the full screen video to access the menu options and the Exit Full Screen button.

When a meeting host switches to Filmstrip layout, the Host’s video is the main video. A host can mark any video as the main video. If any feed is hidden from the strip, a scroll icon is available at the end. Any user can scroll the strip on either sides to see other available feeds. Scrolling the feed does not affect the display of other users.

When using Filmstrip mode, Adobe Connect typically consumes less bandwidth and processing power, as compared to the Grid Mode. This mode provides a better meeting experience for all the attendees.

Share webcam video

  1. Click the Start My Webcam button on the Video pod.

    In the Video pod, a preview image appears so you can adjust the camera position. If you want to use a different connected camera, select it from the Video pod options.

    註解:

    To cancel video sharing, click outside the preview image in the Video pod.

  2. Click Start Sharing to broadcast your video to all participants.

  3. To pause or stop video, hover the mouse over Video pod and select the ellipsis   icon. 

    Pause: To pause the webcam video.

    When video is paused, the last image broadcast from your camera remains static in the Video pod until you click Play to resume broadcasting. When video is stopped, the broadcast image disappears entirely.

    註解:

    Hosts can pause or stop video from any attendee.

Enable participants to share webcam video

By default, only Hosts and Presenters can broadcast video. However, Hosts can enable participants to broadcast by doing any of the following:

  • To enable video for all participants, click the video pod on the tool bar, and select Enable Webcam for Participants.

  • To enable video for specific participants, select one or more in the Attendees pod. Then choose any of the following from the pop-up menu: Video Share, Change Role - Make Host, or Make Presenter.

Settings to share webcam video

You can access the various settings of Video pod either directly from the Video pod menu or by accessing Video pod preferences.

  • In Filmstrip mode, to set a video as the main video, hover pointer over the video and click Set as Main Video.

  • You can maximize the Video pod within the meeting room. Click the icon , and click Maximize.

  • You can select a particular webcam to use in your meetings from the Video pod. Click the menu icon , and from the Select Camera option, choose one of the attached webcams.

  • Hosts can select either the Filmstrip or the Gird layout from Video pod options menu .

  • You can make the Video pod Full Screen. In Full Screen mode, the Title bar is not visible. Hover the pointer at the upper edge of the full screen video to access the menu options and the Exit Full Screen button. Alternatively, hit escape key to turn off the full screen mode.

    Note: Full Screen mode is different from the Maximize option. The former option can be done by all the attendees by clicking the full screen tab on the upper right side whereas the latter option is only available to the hosts. The host can maximize it for all the attendees.

  • Hosts and Presenters can enforce their view settings for all the attendees, by clicking Force Presenter View.

    Note: Force Presenter View option in the Video pod is not available in Break Out rooms.

  • In the Preferences, select Disable Webcam Preview to disable preview when you start your webcam and start sharing the video.

  • In the Preferences, select Highlight Active Speakers to visually highlight the video of the speaker who is speaking at the moment. Multiple videos are highlighted, if multiple participants are speaking simultaneously.

  • You can choose the aspect ratio from the two available options—Standard (4:3) and Wide Screen (16:9). These changes are applicable to all the participants sharing their webcam.

Share HD video from webcam

You can share and consume HD (720p) live video feed. Hosts can set the video quality to HD in the Meeting Preferences. The broadcasted HD feed is available in both, the Filmstrip mode and the Grid mode. Adobe recommends using the Filmstrip mode for better performance.

When HD video sharing is enabled, only one HD stream is allowed in a meeting currently.

If a meeting has a Host and a Presenter, whoever turns on camera first can access the HD video slot to be able to share HD videos in the meeting. In Participant and Host views, a Participant or a Host can view which video cam feed is HD through the HD label that appears after hovering the pointer over the video. Additionally, a Host can hover the pointer on any video and click the HD label to convert the video into an HD video or to pass on the HD video slot to another attendee, including a Participant.

The camera publisher can change the Video Quality in Meeting Preferences to HD.

Video settings are not available for the HTML clients.

To understand how the HD feed is allocated in a meeting if multiple subscribers start sharing HD camera feeds and change upon switching layout, see the following table.

Sharing scenario

When starting to share HD feeds

HD alloted to the primary feed irrespective of who is sharing.

When switching from Filmstrip to Grid

-

HD alloted to a single publisher randomly.

When switching from Grid to Filmstrip

HD alloted to the primary feed.

-

When a HD video publisher stops sharing

Primary feed continues to be an HD stream.

Freed HD slot is alloted to the next user who publishes HD camera stream. HD slot is not allotted to any existing HD camera stream publishers.

When a user starts sharing after all available HD slots are taken

The user publishes a non-HD stream.

The user publishes a non-HD stream.

Switch HD slot from a user publishing HD stream to another user publishing non-HD stream

Hosts, Presenters, and participants with enhanced video rights can set a video feed as the primary video to make it HD.

Both users stop publishing and the second user starts publishing to take the freed HD slot.

註解:

HD feed is published only if the available display area in the Video Pod is at least 720 pixels in height. If the Video Pod is smaller in size, then making it Full Screen does not start HD. Change the Video Pod's actual size to more than 720p to start publishing HD feeds.

註解:

In a meeting, only one participant can publish video feed as an HD stream. If a participant's hardware cannot publish HD video but the participant has an HD slot available in a meeting, the meeting treats the user's video feed as an HD stream. There is no visible indicator to identify the HD feed.

In Connect 12, the microphone/camera experience is selected by default.

Note: This option is not supported in the Standard View.

Change your background before entering the meeting room
