Adobe Connect (formerly Macromedia Breeze) is an online communication system that provides tools for Web conferencing, online meetings, and multimedia presentations.

All faculty and staff have a Adobe Connect account and can request a "host" meeting role. A host can set up meetings, invite guests, manage content, and assign other roles to meeting attendees. To request the host role, you must be faculty or staff and have a valid career account login and password.

To get started using Adobe Connect you will first need to install some plug-ins. To have these plug-ins installed on your office computer, contact the Help Desk to arrange for installation. You may also install them yourself by logging into Adobe Connect and selecting the link for Getting Started.

Adobe Connect presenters can use PowerPoint slides, live and recorded video, Flash animations, live screen-sharing, audio, and two-way text chat to deliver more effective presentations.
