Known issues and limitations

Adobe Connect Mobile continues to provide only a subset of full desktop meeting functionality and pods.

  • Specially the Video Telephony, File Share, Web Links pods, and custom pods are not supported
  • Mobile hosts cannot add new layouts or pods to the meeting room
  • Mobile hosts cannot respond to Q&A questions
  • Mobile hosts cannot start breakout room
  • Mobile hosts and presenters cannot view the Presenter Only Area if enabled
  • Screen sharing is not available from mobile devices. This is primarily due to device operating system restrictions; not app feature priorities. This is considered a high priority request and the team is tracking it
  • Some of the compliance and security settings, such as, disabling raised hands, disabling recording, are not adhered to by the Mobile Client
  • When the host chooses to zoom in on a PDF, the Mobile Client does not zoom in automatically
  • Uploading content from the device to share in a Share pod is device and platform dependent. Apple iOS users can only upload photos from their photo library, while most Android users are able to load any supported content type
  • PowerPoint animations do not play if a user swipes. Use the arrow keys to advance forward or go backward and trigger animations
  • If PowerPoint presentation is published in Adobe Presenter to Connect server and then shared in multiple share pods, Mobile Clients cannot switch between the share pods to view the presentation
  • If there are two or more share pods that share PowerPoint presentations that are published using Adobe Presenter, the content and share pods do not behave as expected
  • Automatic reconnection upon server failover is not supported from Mobile Clients
  • ‘Request Control’ (of the Screen Sharing activity) is not supported
  • Video content support is device-dependent. MP4 and F4V content loaded directly into the Share pod plays back in the Share pod on Android, but not iOS. MP4 and F4V content embedded in a PowerPoint slide does not play in the Adobe Connect mobile app. SWF content is not supported on iOS or Android. FLV videos play on all the platforms
  • On some devices, there is no button to close the keyboard after typing in the Note pod
  • Copy and paste of text from one Note pod to another Note pod does not maintain rich text formatting
  • Quiz results do not display if the results slide has a gray background color
  • Some rich text formatting in the Note pod is removed as soon as a mobile user on iOS inputs any text in the Note pod. All font size and font color affect the entire Note pod
  • When sharing a Course in a virtual classroom and the Course content is a presentation (no quiz questions), the status for users is not marked as “Complete”. The workaround is once the presenter/host reaches the end of the presentation; go back to the first slide and then unsync the presentation. The Mobile Client must go through the entire slide presentation starting from the first slide in order for the course to be marked as “Complete”
  • Even though quiz taking is supported on phone and iPod touch, it is not recommended to take a quiz on these devices, as the user may find it difficult to tap the desired response given the device’s smaller form factor
  • Multiple choice, True/False, Matching, Fill-in-the-blank, and Hot spot quiz question types are supported but Short answer and Rating Scale quiz question types are not supported. When creating quiz questions for a mobile audience, do not use these unsupported quiz question types; otherwise, unexpected results occur. If mobile users interact with quizzes that include unsupported question types, mobile users may become stuck / unable to navigate the quiz, and quiz score data is not reliable
  • When sharing MP3 in a Share pod, the mobile presenter/host will not have access to a drawing tool
  • If a user experiences a disconnection and automatically reconnects to the meeting, the user’s session may be overwritten or renewed. This can result in an inaccurate report of total meeting session minutes attended by that user
