Big picture/beginners question - Adobe Connect

(I must admit that I have very little experience with video conferencing.)
What I'm looking for is an off-the-shelf relatively low-cost videoconferencing package I can integrate into our own package.
We want to be able to open a copy of our own product, call up one or more other computers, record the whole thing, and save the recording to a relatively common format. We want our own interface to control the entire process, not a third party control or popup. The whole process must be controlled by the computer that starts up our application.
Actually I should also mention that this capability will most likely be needed in a web app, at least at first. It is possible we may want to do this with Windows apps later. All of our future application development will most likely be in Dot Net 4.0.
Can this be done with Adobe Connect?

Do I understand this correctly?. Adobe Connect itself is a server and the Adobe Connect Host Add-in is the 'chat window', a stand-alone web app?
If so, is it at least possible for another web app to call up a window with the Add-in and log it in, rather than doing it manually?

Adobe Connect: how to display a picture in the WebCam pod when not sharing video

Adobe Connect: how to display a picture in the WebCam pod when not sharing video

The WebCam pod can pause a live video showing a static image. However, I believe that you are looking to use a Share pod, where you can upload a JPG or PNG image. Just place the share pod with the image where you would have the Camera pod.

Does Articulate Quizmaker display questions when published to Adobe Connect?

This may have (probably has) already been discussed in the forum, but after searching, I simply can't find it.
When publishing quizzes from other products like Adobe Presenter, Captivate, etc. into Adobe Connect Pro 7, the questions DO display when running reports. However, when I publish quizzes from Articulate Quizmaker, the questions DO NOT display.
After searching the LMS Support area (http://www.articulate.com/support/quizmaker09/kb/?cat=3), it looks like only the question ID will be published into Adobe Connect. However, that is incredibly difficult to quickly glance to understand information in Adobe Connect reports because, as much as I would like to think I am a genius, I just can't memorize what question ID's go with what question.
If this is a limitation, has anyone found a workaround or do we know if future versions of Adobe Connect or Quizmaker will offer any solutions to this?
I have attached a Word document that displays the difference for a visual. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer. Still love you all, either way!
Keepin' the joy,

Hi there
Unless things have changed, I believe that the Right-Click ability relies on JavaScript. I suppose it's possible that Connect doesn't present things by handing off all the files involved and it is somehow wrapping the Captivate within its own wrapper and thereby ignoring the JavaScript Captivate creates that makes the magic happen.
Hopefully Lilybiri, Rod, Eric or another will come along and either confirm or refute my belief,
Cheers... Rick

Adobe Connect 6 question

I am using Adobe Connect version 6 and I was wondering if there was a way to setup something where a user could create users and assign them to take various tests in Connect without making them an administrator directly.
Can I setup a group like that or not?
From Matt

Creating users is an Admin function.
You could use the Event Module, if you have it, as it also creates users. You could then assign a person in Connect as an Event Manager and Training Manager, and they could then create courses and curriculum. Then tie an event to their training content and pass the URL for enrollment to the desired individuals.
Other than that, I don't believe there is any other way. Connect 7.5 or 8 (my brain is fuzzy as to which version specifically) introduced Limited Admins as a group, which could have reduced admin rights. You could allow only user creation and then add that individual to that group, but that would require a few upgrades to your deployment.

Adobe Connect and Articulate Storyline Compatibility Question

Is Storyline compatible with Adobe Connect? Are there any issues I need to be aware of? We will have content and quizzes, both need to be tracked.

Adobe Connect UAC Pop Up Problems - Blocks Clicking

We use Adobe Connect to trouble shoot problems with our end users.
The biggest problem I have is with pop ups from Windows UAC wanting to allow an action. We can't click on those through Adobe Connect like you can with normal remote control software. Also, the popup doesn't even show up. On the controller's end is just a black blank screen. The only reason we know that the Allow/Deny screen is coming up is because we've had users on the phone tell us when it prompts them.
If it was just getting past that screen, that'd be fine. We could warn the user to just click allow on those popups and be done with it. But it doesn't stop there. You can't interact with any window that involve the aforementioned UAC popup protection.
Perfect example: We need to delete something out of the registry. When opening regedit a UAC popup comes up asking if we want to allow. They click yes and you lose control over the mouse while that program is up. If they user minimized regedit, then you regain control. If you restore the window you lose control again.
We don't want to walk users through the registry. It just takes them deleting one wrong key to mess up a bunch of stuff. It's actually already happened once and the end user ended up having to reformat his computer because of it.
Is Connect intentionally designed to work this way?
If not, is this a known issue?
Is there a way around it?
I did a fair share of searching/googling and was unable to find any answers. If this has been answered already, please point me to the right post and I apologize for creating an unnecessary extra thread.

Jorma Jennings wrote:
OK, to be fair, Connect is not an RDP application, and simply gives remote access to someones computer through the Flash Player. So, that said, UAC is doing exactly what it is supposed to, stopping someone from changing something on your computer. This is a Windows setting issue, not Connect. The UAC controls have prevented more interaction with the shared control function since Windows 7.
I wouldn't call it a known issue, but more of a known limitation of Windows. You can have the users click past the dialog (as you have mentioned) or reduce the setting of the UAC on their computer.
I appreciate you taking time to reply, however you completely ignored the main problem of this post and only focused on one subcategory that honestly isn't that big of an issue.
We have no problem getting by the popups. Asking people to click a button is easy. It's the fact that any screen that receives a UAC popup is completely inaccessible post message. If it has focus, the cursor stops working. After that window loses focus, we have control again. That's an issue.
Also, I'm aware there's a difference between remote desktop applications and using adobe connect as a remote app. But after allowing UAC access, no application should be inaccessible. That completely defeats the point of *allowing* access.
My question still stands and I'm hoping someone has some type of helpful solution or workaround to this problem.
Thanks

How to stop Adobe Connect Pro from resizing my content window?

Version info: Adobe Connect Pro version 8
When I upload training content in the form of output of a SWF to my company's Connect server, and then play back the training content, the size of the window that Connect opens is whatever size I have created the SWF to be.
However, when I upload training content in the form of a collection of files that include HTML and SWFs, and then play back the training content, the size of the window that Connect opens is always the same (735 x 630), no matter what size I make my SWFs to be, no matter what size I make my HTML to be (using onload="resizeTo(1024,768)").
I have done extensive research but have not been able to find a way to fix this. My training viewers are complaining about this! I have saw a post that this is a setting hidden deep in the installation files on the Connect server itself. Is that true? Is there any way to change this setting?
I appreciate any tips or suggestions.
Liz

Hey Aadesh, thank you for your answer
I hope the links for the pictures work, i wasn't quite sure which link to copy.
as you can see, i work on a small computer, and unfortunately, it makes quite a big difference...

Clicking on tools it what I do each time, but I would have loved to find a way to be able to write something without having that bar show up... Would you have any idea if this would be possible? For example when you click on the highlight tool, the "comment" task pane does not automatically open, this only happens with the "Tool" task pane.
Maybe there is a parameter I could apply?

Adobe Connect Plug-in failure: either video och shared screens / documents

Hi
I'm Sven-Erik Tiberg imeet admin at Lulea Univ. of Technology.
We have 7 studios for confernaces and distance education all running Adobe Connect and other conferance systems.
Each studio has a dedicated computer running Adobe Connect where video and sound are routed trugh a programable Mutlimedia switch.
That's the big picture.
Connect are running perfect in 6 studios but we got challanges in the high end studio where all videos streams are in HDSI format 1250 - 750 / 24 bit.
We can either broadcast connect-video by uninstalling the Adobe Connect add-on OR share whiteboard / computer screens / documents by installing the add-in.
Have tried with vers. 9 add-in w/o any improvements.
We have made some test applications using flash to display the video and as you guess the video are displayed with great satisfaction.
Are there any add-in out there / in test that can help us.
PS. all 7 studios are booked appr. 70% of day and evening time so we are in a bit of hurry getting also this studio running in full production.
Greetings.
Sven-Erik Tiberg

Some clarifications,the capture card we uses are Datapath VisionRGB E1 and E2 using DVI capture.
http://www.datapath.co.uk/visionrgbE1.html
The source is from a Tandberg Camera using 1280x720P@ 50 Hz.
The video is routed trough a HDSDI router trough a HDSDI to HDMI converter (AJA Hi5 3G).
http://www.aja.com/products/converters/converters-hd-hi53g.php
The capture card supports direct show capture and works well on other video tools; Windows Movie Maker, Skype, etc. and also with Flash based capture tools such as Tokbox and normal Flash video capture (Tested using Actionscript 3)
Camera = Camera.getCamera()
Video = new Video()
So so long everything is fine, but in Adobe Connect we have some problems!
It captures video in Adobe Connect when the plugin is not installed, but when the plugin is installed, just an icon and the plugin tells that video is broadcasted, but no video is shown or broadcasted to other Connect users!
When we uninstall the Add-in the video works as it should again, but without the plugin no screen sharing and we want both!
What is the difference with the video capture using the normal Connect program and the Connect Add-in.
Tested with both the latest 7 Add-in as well as the Adobe Connect 8 add-ins
Any one seen this problem before?
Seems like this has been an issue before:

How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
Problem:
My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera.
I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software.
Even after removing all the old software, same result:
I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.
Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.
Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution?
I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software. I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome.
I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software.
I test my camera before going online. It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.
When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
solution.
His reply is below :-
The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
blank screen. Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
adjusting the frame rate.
I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
to adjust the frame rate (?).
He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
something does the trick.
If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
please jot on a note on this thread.

How can I get Adobe connect to work with 10.7.5?

When I do an Adobe connect using my MacBookPro running 10.7.5, the person on the other end does not get anything visible, except a moving cursor. Ever since I upgraded to 10.7.5, my Adobe Connect does not work correctly. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Is this the site that you're using for the download?

Note: you've posted your question in the wrong area, as it has nothing to do with "Mac Pros." And, you have a MacBook Pro.

Viewing video recording that I have downloaded off of Adobe Connect 8

Good Day
I have an Adobe Connect recording (of a training that took place), that I want to make available off line. I can view the recording via Adobe's Media player but the learners do not have the media player.
I then went to Adobe's Website to download the latest version. On the home page (middle right), one can see a section "Download", I clicked the "More" button (to the right of "Download"), but nothing.
I eventually found info on Adobe's Media Player, BUT it is not good i.e. it says that they do not support it anymore.
That is a bummer.... where to from here? How do I get my learners to view an FLV file?
Then to make matters worse I opened the video clip in Adobe Premeir only to find out that it does not import the audio. I then imported it into Adobe Media Encoder (to convert it to a wmv). No luck. It seems to leave the audio out all the time.
Anybody out there able to answer these two questions?
Dimitri

You can easily go to Adobe Connect Central and access the recordings page for the room that was used to make the recording. You can then select make offline. Once you select that Adobe Connect Host Add-in will launch and will require that the entire meeting be played. While it is playing it is making a local copy on your local hard drive as a single FLV file. That FLV file can be played using Adobe Media Player that comes with the Adobe Creative Suite. You can also play FLV files with many free players by using Google to search for free FLV players. Your choose on that. The other option is to use file converters from FLV to any other format you desire. There are free video file converters and some for pay. Your choice on that one. Again...Google search for video converters. I convert from FLV to MOV or AVI or M4V all the time. Then you can send out the video file in any format that matches your customer/student player.

Adobe Connect Administrator - Urgent!

Hello, I am hoping that someone can help me with this question.
I am currently administering the online courses created for my department and hosted on Adobe Connect. I am leaving my department and need to hand over the online training to my colleague. Is there a way to set my colleague as the administrator or does she need to create the training on her own account? If so, does this mean we will lose the testing history?
Thanks

You can easily change her access to be the Administrator in the users and groups panel under administration.

Integration of Adobe Connect to a PHP website

Hi friends,
I am really a newbie here, the only thing which I know is
that I have to integrate the adobe connect to a website (developed
in PHP ) through which they can arranage a virtual class (via live
broadcast), as I really said it will be my first experience to do
things like this. So I need to know what sort of information (like
server url or username etc etc) I need to have in order to do this
and as I saw after getting connect to the server the server sends
an XML response after that, so how that response would be helpful
for me, how can I convert that response to a live broadcast, I
believe its a real beginner's question but I have to do it,
Thanks in advance for your valueable feedbacks

HI,
Yes, this is Possible. You can use AppIntegrator Iview and Pass the URL for your Adobe Connect.
Thanks and Regards
Puneet
