It ensures the real-time streaming of audio and video and the synchronization of data. The broad set of collaboration capabilities it offers can be easily utilized and enable users to have a better streaming experience.
Analytics
Statistics play an important role in understanding the results of any activity. A meeting’s attendance, the response to a presented question or the number of participants for a training program, etc. helps determine the impact and behavior of the participants.

Maintaining high-quality media at the meetings is imperative for an agreeable experience for all participants. Adobe Connect Server automatically converts all the popular document formats into the highest-quality files that can be displayed in the meeting room for quality viewing.
It provides several file conversion utilities like, files from PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX) are converted into small, vector-based files. This conversion provides the highest-quality display that is independent of resolution for all participants. The conversion also reproduces hyperlinks and all the original animations of each slide ensuring a synchronized display for all viewers.
Extensibility and custom integration
Adobe Connect can be easily customized with support for custom branding, system and meeting, and more.
Organizations can easily set up meeting room layouts using standard or custom-designed templates, control participant roles and even communicate privately behind the scenes with other presenters. Through published APIs, organizations can also incorporate external data and extend the functionality of any meeting room, seminar room, or virtual classroom; build multi-user applications such as games. All of which can operate collaboratively from within the meeting.
