Adobe Connect V-8.1The Participants Screen and how to use it

1The Participants Screen

The purpose of this presentation is to give to the brethren using Adobe Connect a short training on how to use this program. It is more complicated that Cu-See-Me, that so many of are so use to. It takes some getting use to.

In this presentation we are addressing only the basic features to help you enjoy a convention or a study. It is not our intention in this presentation to address the many features that a host or a presenter may want to do. That will come later in another presentation.

Let us look first at a Screen used by the brethren of the Associated Bible Students of Central Ohio. You will note that there are Six (6) different parts or PODS to this screen.2The Participants Screen

Each of these areas or PODS can be used or not used by the presenter or they can be around or changed as far as location and size, depending on the presenters wishes.3The Participants Screen

The Chat Area:The chat area is just like the one that we had in CU-See-Me. You can type your comments in this box and then by clicking on the enter key or the bubble to the right of this box you will sent it to all.1

The Chat POD:

The chat POD is like the one that we had in CU-See-Me. You can type your comments in this box and then by clicking on the enter key or the bubble to the right of this box every one on-line will be able to see and read your comments..

One of the features that the Brethren enjoy about Cu-See-Me is the large area for Chat Comments with a list of those on-line to the left.

If one is willing to for go the other PODS, you can have a screen similar to the Cu-See-Me Screen. This is the presenter option.

The advantage is that the area that you type your comments into is larger. Also for those that appreciate less to distract them during a meeting, this would help.5The Participants Screen

The Sharing Area:The Sharing area is for the presenter, study leader or speaker. It is an area for Power Point presentation, video, pictures or a white board to write or draw on.2

The Sharing POD:

The Sharing POD is for the presenter, study leader or speaker. It is an area for Power Point presentation, video, pictures or a white board to write or draw on.

This is a very popular POD at conventions. It makes the brethren on line feel more a part of the convention when they can enjoy the brethren that are actually present enjoying themselves.


The Attendee List:This area is for a list of those attending the convention, conference or study. The names appear automatically according to what the participant types in when they enter the room. It helps if those attending type in their full names, not just Bro. Laddie as I did here.

You might have a second list with those physically present in a room at a study.34

4. You might have a second list with those physically present in a room at a study. This is designated #4


Other PODS:Other PODS can be added by the presenter for Presenters Notes, References, Links and etc. These are usually restricted for the uses of the presenter or host, but might be used by a scribe for the meeting.56

Our last two (2) PODs on our illustrative screen are #5 and #6.

Pod # 5 is a note pod that can be used by the presenter or by an individuals assigned by the presenter, like a scribe. Again, this POD can be as large or as small as the presenter desires.

Pod # 6 is also a note POD in this illustration. This is being used for reference from or for the study that might be kept from week to week until the class is done with them.

Other POD are available, such as a POD for LINKS to other sites that might be benefit for the study or the discourse. Or a POD might be provided that has all of the discourses from a convention are made available to download.8The Participants Screen
