What's new in Adobe Connect Application 2024.8
Improved discovery of share system audio feature
The option to include system audio has been moved to the Start sharing popup shown on selecting the Screen sharing option in share pod. This was earlier available as a menu option in the drop-down menu next to the Screen button.
Optimize screen sharing for video clips
A new option checkbox Optimize for video clips will be available when sharing screen via the desktop applications. This option increases the frame rate of the screen share. Use this option when screen sharing video clips (like a video clip on playing on YouTube in a browser). A higher frame rate will ensure the screen share appears smooth and less jerky to participants. Use the Share system audio feature to transmit the audio from this video to everyone.
- This option can lead to higher CPU and network bandwidth usage. It is therefore not recommended to use this option when screen sharing static, text heavy content (like Word / PDF / PPTX documents) which does not require a higher frame rate.
- This feature replaces the "High" share quality setting which was available in Share Preferences.
- This feature will be available only for sessions running on Adobe Connect 12.7 and above.
