Using Pods in Adobe Meetings

The Adobe connect meeting interface is built around the concept of PODs. Using different pods, a meeting host can share, display and create different types of content and functions.
The following pods are available in Adobe Connect:

Share: The Share pod allows the host or presenter to upload and display content to attendees during the meeting. Three types of content are shared in the Share pod: documents such as .ppt, .pptx, .flv, .swf, .pdf, .gif, .jpg, .png, .mp3, .html, .mp4, and .f4v; desktop screen sharing, and the whiteboard.
Notes: The Notes pod can be used to display notes that all attendees can see.
Attendee List:
Video: The The Attendee List pod displays everyone logged in to the meeting. Video pod can display live video from webcams.
Chat: The Chat pod is used for all users to communicate with each other in text format.
Files: Files pod is used to enable attendees to download files.
Web Links: The Web Links pod is used to share websites with the meeting attendees.
Poll: The Poll pod is used to create polls. Results of the polls can then be displayed to the Participants.
Q &A: The Q & A pod allows participants to ask question during the whole meeting session. Questions are viewable to the presenters and the hosts but not to other Participants.

Using Pods in Adobe Meetings

As a meeting host, you are able to show or hide, add, delete, rearrange, resize and organize pods. You could also display more than one pod in a meeting at the same time.

To show a pod:

select it from the Pods menu. A check mark appears next to the name of pods that are currently visible in the meeting.
Click "Add New" to display the pod. After that, you can add the corresponding type of content in the pod.

To hide a pod:

click the arrow at the upper-right corner of a pod and then select "Hide".
