Directly connect to the fastest internet connection available.
Shut down any VPN’s and directly connect to the internet. VPN’s slow down your internet connection and thus slow down Adobe Connect.
Shut down any e-mail, instant messaging, and any programs NOT being used for the presentation. You do not want participants to see these if you are doing a screen share.
Do not screen share Power Point or videos. Always upload content directly into Adobe Connect.
Properly prepare presenters and content for the live meeting by requiring a rehearsal with final content.
Use the feature of “Block Incoming Participants” while you are creating the room content. This will ensure that only hosts and presenters can access the content until the day of the live meeting. Remove the block 15 minutes prior to start time.
Unless the Attendee List Pod is required for the participants to see who is speaking, consider moving it to the Presenter Only area to conserve bandwidth and CPU load. This is highly recommended if you are anticipating over 100 participants.
Create a layout that allows participants to enter the Adobe Connect room 15 minutes prior to start time. We like to call this layout a “lobby” and provide participants with information on audio, marketing information and some music.
Muting your audience is always a good way to avoid background noise from participants. If you plan on muting your audience, make sure your presenters have dialed in using a Host code so they are not muted.
