"...Today we announced, with the support of many of our technology partners including Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla, that Adobe plans to end-of-life the Flash Player by the end of 2020. The significant progress that has been made on the open web in terms of standards, capabilities, and maturity makes us feel confident that they will ultimately provide a viable alternative for Flash content in the browser moving forward. .....In order to navigate the sea change currently at hand, we are releasing Adobe Connect 9.7, which will offer users a standalone executable desktop application completely independent from the Flash Player in the browser. We are also pursuing the creation of a full-fledged web-application, currently being developed and tested in a private beta environment, that will take advantage of the rapidly evolving open standards of tomorrow. This two-pronged approach will ensure users are able to enjoy the rich features of Adobe Connect with seamless entry to meeting rooms through the 9.7 desktop application while we simultaneously move the product, and the necessary underlying web standards, towards supporting browser-based web conferencing with full feature parity to today’s product." http://blogs.adobe.com/adobeconnect/2017/07/adobe-connect-on-web-conferencin...
