Isn\u2019t it best to just share a URL in the chat?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetingone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Cweblinks.png\" alt=\"adobe connect web links pod\" width=\"466\" height=\"329\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sharing in chat may be quicker, but the web links feature allows you to rename links. So, people have a better sense of where they will be directed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also, where a URL may get buried in a chat throughout a session, the web links pods can be situated so links are continuously present.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #bb2025\"><strong>Lastly, a host can use the Web Links pod to send everyone to a specific site.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Can&#8217;t do that with a chat! This functionality is great\u00a0when discussing online reports, websites and other pages during meetings. Everyone is taken to the same page so that the conversation can start up with the same info on everyone&#8217;s screen.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #225d71\">Engagement Dashboard<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>The Engagement Dashboard is Adobe Connect\u2019s tool that tracks participant engagement.<\/strong>\u00a0As the name suggests, engagement metrics are displayed on the Dashboard.

All they are tracking is how long their platform is the primary window on your screen. I could be part of a Webex meeting and never actually pay attention. But because I keep the window up on my screen, it will look like I\u2019m engaged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adobe Connect has higher standards.<\/strong>\u00a0Their engagement tracking includes \u201cattentiveness.\u201d It also accounts for much more:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Actions\u00a0taken\u00a0in the room, like participating in a poll or chat.<\/li>\n<li>Updating the status setting.<\/li>\n<li>Mouse activity in the window.<\/li>\n<li>Decay\u00a0of attention over time.

The questions and answers can be shown publically or privately. Using a Q&amp;A feature is ideal for ensuring questions don&#8217;t go unanswered. (They can easily be missed in a chat.)<\/p>\n<p>Adobe Connect, as mentioned, offers a Q&amp;A pod for every license tier.\u00a0<strong>What differentiates the platform is the ability to assign questions.<\/strong>\u00a0The lead host can take certain questions and give them to the person they believe is best suited to answer. The other presenters can set a pod status to show only their questions. As questions are divvied up, presenters will see the questions assigned to them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meetingone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/QA-assigned-question.png\" alt=\"Producing Adobe Connect webinars - Assigning question in Q&amp;A pod\" width=\"548\" height=\"209\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #bb2025\"><strong>The ability to distribute questions is highly desirable during large events.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0We have some customers who host thousands, and the topics can get technical.

By turning on &#8220;Show Individual Engagement,&#8221; you can see how engaged someone is.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Green indicates they are consistently engaged and interacted.<\/li>\n<li>Yellow indicates they are engaged but not as active.<\/li>\n<li>Red means they are disengaged and inactive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(Their score is derived from the engagement scoring discussed above.)<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #bb2025\">Having these insights is a huge boon for anyone \u2013 but it\u2019s especially beneficial during online training and webinars, where you\u00a0need to be sure how engaged individuals are.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #f68920\"><strong>The functionality discussed above is significant.

In another, you could include a chat and attendee list.\u00a0There are endless numbers of ways to format these layouts!<\/p>\n<p>For webinars and virtual\u00a0trainings, these layouts\u00a0can be used as transitions between different stages in a presentation.
