UCD's Connect server will be replaced by the hosted service at Adobe.com. There will be a period of transition as content is moved to the new service and the current list of ANR hosts. Here are some improvements to look for in the newer Version 7 features/refinements: Many more help files and tutorials available The ability to download and edit recordings Separate Audio and Video pods If you......

Background: The Adobe Connect Add-in is a quick automatic addition to your browser the first time you use a computer for an online meeting. It is required the first time you are Host or Presenter. Those are the two roles that can share and the add-in is integral to sharing in Connect. The add-in only needs to......

Poe) http://ucanr.org/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=1436 Adobe Connect was originally developed by Macromedia and called Breeze. Desktop videoconferencing is its thing. You can be at your desk and using a computer with an Internet connection and a browser like Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc., share documents, images, and audio. If webcams are used at both ends, it's like a video phone but with space for sharing items on your desktop. For ANR faculty and staff, you have unlimited access to use Adobe Connect without charge. Connect is...... Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:14:21 PST http://ucanr.org/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=635&utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=RSS%2BFeed mlpoe@ucdavis.edu(Michael L. Poe) http://ucanr.org/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=635 I have recommendations and reviews for webcams listed in my Equipment Recommendations Blog A webcam is not essential for Breeze, but it is a quick and easy way to install a camera and microphone (most have them built-in). Besides, it's fun to be approaching the Jetson lifestyle in a fairly easy way. If you are "meeting" with just one other person, using video works well. It also works well if you are the only presenter with a camera with dozens of participants watching.......

Poe) http://ucanr.org/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=79 It took a little doing but I finally found something definitive on the compatibility issues with Breeze v Mac v Breeze Presenter v Adobe Presenter v Windows Vista v Microsoft Office 2007 (win). This is from the Adobe Connect Release Notes: Windows Vista and Office 2007 Support Prior to shipping Adobe® Acrobat® Connect Professional software, Adobe tested it on a prerelease version of Microsoft® Windows Vista™. We are now actively testing Acrobat Connect Professional on the......

Poe) http://ucanr.org/blogs/blogcore/postdetail.cfm?postnum=66 There's an exception to everything. This time it's the "Breeze works with any computer platform and browser" statement. That was true until Macs started coming out with Intel processors. What's happening--So far (May 2007), the only hardware problems with Breeze appear to be with Intel-base Macintosh computers. Macintosh computers with Intel-based CPUs will experience problems while trying to share a document or their screen via the Breeze Meeting Add-In under Mac OSX (native......

Presenter - Presenter Privileges allow a user to share their screen and use each Pod’s features. Participant- the most basic privilege level, Participant Permissions allow participation mainly through the meeting’s chat function. Virtually all......

So here's the scoop on Breeze at UCD. You don’t have to install any program to use Breeze. You can hold a meeting without downloading anything. The software lives on the server at UCD. Once you login at http://breeze.ucdavis.edu, enter your user ID (your email address) and your password. If you are in a meeting as a host or a presenter, your browser will detect if......
