This is a brief tutorial for those attending our Adobe Connect webinars

1. Attending a webinar as a
participant (in Adobe
Connect)
By Fiona Beal

2. Check your system first!
If it is your first time in Adobe please do the following first:
If you have never attended an Adobe Connect meeting before then
test your connection:

/meeting_test.htm
This is very important – do it before the time as it could take
several minutes.

3. This should be what you see
after your check

4. Open the link to the webinar
Open the link that is given just under the Webinars. This
link takes you to the actual meeting.
Sign in as a guest with your name and enter the room.
See you there but read on…..

5. How Adobe Connect works
Once you are in you automatically go in as a participant
with no rights at all. Your name appears. You can’t hear
anyone or do anything except type in the chat box with
whoever is there. The host is the one who gives you
rights to do other things. I will mostly be your host.

6. This is what you’ll see
when you enter the
meeting

You might be able to hear
something as I see the
audio part is green!.
Your name appears 2
here and you can
type in the chat.

7. When the host enters
Once I am in as host I can enable your audio (and video if we
were going to use that) so that you can speak. I can also give
you the right to share a document with Screenshare. (By the
way, because of our internet bandwidth problem in South
Africa we won’t be using video.)

8. When I click on your name
this screen comes up and I
enable all these things if
necessary.

9. Speaking problems!
HOWEVER For some reason Adobe has an echo with more
than two people, so generally we have to talk one at a time by
handing over the microphone. It is a hassle, I know! You will
mostly not say anything until question time, but you can ask
questions via the chat box.

10. When the time
comes for you to
speak…
When you click on
microphone after this this
block will open. Click on
‘allow’.

11. Handing over the microphone
When you are finished talking you say ‘Handing over the
microphone to…’ and you mute your microphone. This just
makes it better to listen to – but is awkward. Every action has
to be verbalised.

12. Click here to mute your
microphone AFER you
have said ‘Handing over
to…”

13. This is what you’ll see. Click on
‘Mute my microphone’. That is
how it goes on throughout the
conversation.

14. That’s enough for now
Well, hopefully that’s enough for now. See you at the webinar!
