Adobe Connect Assistive Technology Support

There are two different interfaces to Connect – the browser based version and the Connect Add-in (standalone) version Some content, such as PowerPoint slide content and

individual chat items require use of a screen reader ‘virtual cursor’, and screen readers do not have this support in the Add-in.

Users can determine which interface they prefer http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/samplemeeting?launcher=false http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/samplemeeting?launcher=true
