What's new in Adobe Connect Application 2025.8

Enhanced Screen Sharing with Chromium Framework

The app now leverages the Chromium framework for screen sharing, replacing the previous native macOS-based implementation. This change brings notable performance improvements, offering a smoother and more reliable screen sharing experience.

Key Changes:

• Application Sharing Deprecated

  Previously, users could restrict sharing to all windows of a specific application. For example, sharing only the Excel application and switching between open workbooks. This feature is no longer available. Users can continue to share either:

  • Share a specific window, such as an individual Excel workbook
  • Share their entire screen

• Updated Behavior for Admin-Controlled Restrictions

  • Window Sharing: Applications blocked by administrators (as configured in Connect Central Admin – Compliance and Control settings) will not be available for selection.
  • Full Screen Sharing: Blocked applications will no longer be redacted with a black overlay. They will appear as-is when sharing the entire screen.
