Desktop Sharing Using Adobe ConnectNow

Kevin's picture

Up until recently, I wasn't really fully sure of what I could accomplish via Adobe's desktop sharing application - ConnectNow. I had thought that it was a pay-per-use option only. Boy was I wrong. Turns out it is FREE for up to 3 users. At first glance you might think - that's not really a whole lot of people. But keep in mind many times clients will be meeting in a conference room, sharing a connection. In situations like that, 3 users is all you need. All anyone needs to use it is an Adobe ID (free) and Flash Player installed on their machine (free). Like where this is going?

So if you want to show off a mockup in Photoshop, Fireworks, Flash, Dreamweaver, etc..., simply go to File > Share My Screen and ConnectNow starts up. You can customize your connection URL as well.

ConnectNow allows you to share files, your desktop, webcam, online chat, etc., all on a fully customizable interface.

Here is a great AdobeTV video on the features of this powerful tool:

Chances are your client interactions will never be the same again. :]
