Adobe Connect Setup

These are instructions for setting up Adobe Connect to use for AV broadcast of a presentation to a remote viewing room. Specific definitions…

  • LWSN 1142: Main room where presenter is located
  • LWSN 3102: Remote viewing room with AV projection

This setup uses three computers:

  • LWSN 1142 workstation: Main login happens here. Becomes meeting “Host”.
  • LWSN 1142 laptop in back of room: Video camera and wireless mic plug into laptop. Laptop joins meeting as “Guest” with presenter's name.
  • LWSN 3102 workstation: AV from this computer is projected to the remote audience present. Join meeting as “Guest” with, e.g., “LWSN 3102” as name.

Advance Setup

  1. Schedule the meeting by logging in to http://gomeet.itap.purdue.edu. Only non-default setting is “Access: Anyone who has the URL can enter the meeting room”.
  2. Set any necessary permissions to allow others to host the meeting (default is meeting creator). Permission required at time of meeting.
  3. Make a note of the MEETING_NAME (“r[0-9]+” or custom name you assign) for configuring the laptop and secondary room connections.
