Adobe Connect tips
- Before the course, check with your IT to make sure there are no restrictions on the use of Adobe Connect on your computer.
- We strongly recommend you use the Adobe Connect Application or a modern web browser such as: Chrome or Safari.
- We do not generally recommend connecting to the room via a 'remote desktop' - RDPs can very occasionally cause audio issues or the connection to drop.
- If you have any issues with the audio during the course, these can usually be resolved by:
- Leaving the room and re-joining
- Accessing via a different web browser or downloading the application
- Quitting other applications and ensuring your internet connection is strong
