The following information is what is required to ensure that you can access Meetings, Seminars, Events, and the Connect Web Application. The checklist describes the changes and provides additional support documentation where necessary.

Adobe Flash Player 13.0 is now the minimum requirement for attending meetings and logging in to the Connect Web application. However, we recommend using the latest Flash Player version for the latest fixes and security updates.  Download the latest version of Flash Player.

Note: Due to the new Flash Player minimum version of 13.0, Linux users need to use the Chrome browser to log in to the Connect Web application and join Connect sessions.

There will also be a new required version of the Adobe Connect Add-in for Connect 9.5.  The new minimum required version will be 11.9.974.205 for both Windows and Mac OS, but we recommend using the latest version available. Adobe Connect Add-in is required for functionality specific to meeting Hosts and Presenters on Windows and Mac OS. For more information, and links to download the latest add-in, click here to review the latest Add-in Release Notes.

The Connect 9.5 release will add support for the following client operating systems.
