Adobe Acrobat Connect

Adobe Acrobat Connect (formerly Macromedia Breeze) is software used to create information and general presentations, online training materials, web conferencing, learning modules, and user desktop sharing. The product is entirely Adobe Flash based. All meeting workspaces are organized into 'pods'; with each pod performing a specific role (i.e. chat, whiteboard, note, etc.). The recommended database for backend support is Microsoft SQL Server. The product can be licensed as an installed product, or a hosted product.

Adobe Acrobat Connect is part of the Adobe Acrobat family.

The former Macromedia Breeze included four applications: Breeze Presenter, Breeze Training, Breeze Meeting, and Breeze Events. Following the acquisition by Adobe, Macromedia Breeze Meeting is now rebranded as Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional, and includes rebranded versions of Breeze Training, Breeze Meeting and Breeze Events. Acrobat Connect Professional features the following in addition to Acrobat Connect:

Adobe Connect Training (formerly Breeze Training) Adobe Connect Events (formerly Breeze Events) Adobe Presenter (formerly Breeze Presenter) Unlimited and customizable meeting rooms Multiple meeting rooms per user VoIP Audio integration Meeting recording User management, administration and reporting Polling Central content library Collaboration Builder SDK
