Adobe Connect is a web conferencing solution that enables a variety of uses, ranging from web meetings to eLearning to webinars. With Adobe Connect, you can captivate your audience with engaging, and interactive experiences and make them available to virtually anyone, anywhere, on almost any device, with just a click of a button. Adobe Connect is based on Adobe Flash® technology and Adobe Flash Player software is already installed on virtually all Internet-connected computers. So, Adobe Connect allows invitees to easily attend your meetings without the need for additional downloads.
