Adobe Acrobate Connect (Breeze)

What It Is

Adobe Acrobat Connect (formerly Breeze Meeting) is a collaborative Web conferencing environment where participants, with appropriate video and audio installations, can see, hear, and interact with other participants in the same meeting. The environment allows participants to communicate in "real-time", deliver presentations, and share desktop applications. Meetings may also be archived for later review through standard Web browsers and a URL.
