About Adobe Connect
You do not have to install it. Just click at the URL someone gave you. The organization who want to have it has to purchase it from that company.
Adobe connect allow you to share only picture, movies (flash, jpg, etc. You cannot share excel, doc, pdf etc. However, that is not a problem since you (as a host) may show those documents by opening them on your screen and allowing participant seeing your screen.
There will be two users on a screen: Host who can controll everything, and participants.
There are many tools for users such as note, discussion note, chat, weblink, poll that can calculate immediatly after participants' voting(so cool).
Adobe connect allows participant outside the real meeting building see power point sharper than using TEC.
