Adobe Connect


Adobe Connect is a suite of software for remote training, web conferencing, presentation, and desktop sharing. All meeting rooms are organized into 'pods'; with each pod performing a specific role Adobe Connect was formerly part of the Adobe Acrobat family and has changed names several times.

History

The product was first developed by a startup called Presedia and included a first generation PowerPoint-to-Flash Plugin and a training module. Macromedia acquired Presedia and added on a real-time web conferencing component, called Breeze Live.
In version 5, Macromedia Breeze included four applications: Breeze Presenter, Breeze Training, Breeze Meeting, and Breeze Events. Following the acquisition by Adobe, Macromedia Breeze Meeting was initially rebranded to Adobe Connect, then Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional and later as Adobe Connect. The full product line includes rebranded versions of Breeze Training, Breeze Meeting, Breeze Presenter, and Breeze Events.
