Adobe launches newest Adobe Connect conferencing software, SDK

Today, Adobe released version 8 of its Adobe Connect conferencing software. The web conferencing solution is powered by the Flash player and is bringing some new capabilities aimed at enterprises to the table.

Some of the big upgrades with this release include the addition of two-way Universal Voice allowing customers to bridge audio from any conferencing provider into Adobe Connect as well as allowing connections between boh VoIP and telephone audio. The new version also integrates into video conferencing systems to bring streams into the Adobe Connect room. 

In addition to upgrades to the core offering, the new version also features a separate downloadable desktop app which lets users set up meetings outside their web browser as well as watch recorded meeting sessions. Connect 8 also features a mobile app allowing users to attend meetings on the go from their iPhone, iPad, and Android device. There is also a software development kit (SDK) that supports for Adobe Flex, Adobe Flash and Adobe ActionScript 3 allowing developers to create custom pods or integrate Adobe Connect with other systems.
