With Adobe Connect 9.5.2, Adobe Flash won't be required to attend Adobe Connect meetings
Looks like with Adobe Connect 9.5.2, desktop users can access Adobe Connect conferences WITHOUT requiring Adobe Flash to be installed. I wonder if the Adobe Connect add-in is multiplatform, meaning would it work on Windows, Mac and Linux?
From http://blogs.adobe.com/adobeconnect/2016/02/flash-free.html
"Last year, we shared with you some of our plans for supporting HTML5 and other web standards. Since then, we’ve introduced features that: - support HTML5 content from Adobe Captivate and Adobe Presenter in virtual classrooms - enable customers to easily create offline MP4 versions of their recordings to support mobile devices - incorporate a new Adobe Connect SDK to add support for HTML5/Javascript versions of custom pods Today, I’m pleased to announce a new update to Adobe Connect that enables customers without Adobe Flash Player installed on their computer to attend an Adobe Connect meeting, virtual classroom, or webinar. Flash is no longer required. With this latest update, customers who don’t have the Flash plug-in installed or enabled on their browsers will be prompted to download and install the Adobe Connect add-in. Once installed, the add-in will thereafter automatically launch for all Adobe Connect meetings. While the underlying technology for an Adobe Connect meeting hasn’t changed (at least, not yet), we believe this will further reduce any barriers to entering an Adobe Connect meeting, virtual classroom, or webinar. The new feature comes with the 9.5.2 update......In addition to product optimizations and bug fixes, we’re also improving accessibility in this latest version of Adobe Connect." Dev Anand

The Adobe Connect add-in is Windows and Mac only. https://twitter.com/AdobeConnect/status/695018357914013696 For Linux users wanting to use Adobe Connect, the only option is to use Google Chrome which has its built in flash player. The standalone Adobe Flash player for Linux won't work with Adobe Connect anymore. Dev Anand On Thu, Feb 4, 2016 at 10:01 AM, Jimmy Schulz <jimmy.schulz@digital-guerilla.org> wrote:

Ok, I hoped that Situation could have changed. cu in Marrakesh, jimmy... -- Jimmy Schulz, Vorsitzender phone: +49 30 69203242 LOAD e.V. - Verein für liberale Netzpolitik fax: +49 30 20003893 Reinhardstr. 5 jimmy.schulz@load-ev.de D-10117 Berlin http://www.load-ev.de
So just tried to listen to a Adobe Connect session in Firefox since I don't have Flash installed. It looks like the plugin is a specialized version of Flash Player and based on Flash Player 11 (Adobe Flash is at version 20 now) So its not a "Flash-free" experience at all, See https://helpx.adobe.com/adobe-connect/kb/facts-connect-add-in.html So Flash is still being used. How disappointing. Dev Anand On Fri, Feb 5, 2016 at 9:16 AM, Jimmy Schulz <jimmy.schulz@load-ev.de> wrote:
