Get started with the onboarding tour

Learn how to use Adobe Connect's onboarding tour, designed to help new hosts get acquainted with the meeting room interface through guided, step-by-step instructions.

Adobe Connect offers an onboarding tour that helps new hosts learn about the meeting room interface. When a host first enters a new room, the tour starts automatically and uses guided help to highlight key features and tools.

This section explains how the onboarding tour is triggered, what steps it includes, and how to relaunch it if needed.

Tour the onboarding interface

The onboarding tour starts automatically when a host enters a newly created room for the first time. It uses visual guidance to walk them through key elements of the meeting interface.

The onboarding tour highlights the following features:

Rooms

This guided help introduces rooms in Adobe Connect. A room is your dedicated virtual space for meetings and sessions. Rooms are persistent, so any layouts, Pods, or content you add stay in place and can be reused across sessions.

Pods

This step introduces Pods, the interactive building blocks of layouts in Adobe Connect meeting rooms. Each pod serves a specific purpose, such as sharing content, displaying attendees, hosting chat discussions, or launching polls. You can resize, move, or hide Pods to suit the needs of the session.

Learn more about Pods.

Pods menu

This step highlights the Pods menu, which is available in the top navigation bar. From here, hosts can access a full list of available Pods, including Chat, Poll, Q&A, Notes, Files, Web Links, and more.

Layouts panel

This step introduces the Layouts panel, located on the right side of the meeting room. In Adobe Connect, a layout is a custom arrangement of Pods designed to guide participant focus during different parts of a session.

Layouts help hosts manage content delivery by switching between views tailored to specific activities, such as presenting, breakout discussions, or collaboration. You can switch between session modes seamlessly, as each layout retains the position and visibility of Pods, eliminating the need to reconfigure the room.

Room search

This step introduces the Room search feature, available through the search icon in the top menu bar. Room search helps hosts quickly find actions, settings, and learning resources within the meeting room.

Learn Hub

This final step in the onboarding tour introduces the Learn Hub, a built-in panel designed to help hosts continue learning within the meeting room environment. Learn Hub offers video tutorials grouped by experience level, making it easy for hosts to find content that matches their needs.
