Adobe Connect is about to get faster, smarter, and younger with the upcoming Adobe Connect 12 upgrade, scheduled for Spring, 2022.
With this new upgrade, Adobe Connect’s legacy, the Flash-based Classic View will reach its end-of-life. Customers will no longer be able to host or join Adobe Connect sessions using the Classic View.
If you haven’t transitioned your Flash-based content and rooms to the HTML-based Standard View, then now would be the right time , ahead of Adobe Connect 12 release.
For more information, see Adobe Connect Classic View End of Life (EOL).

Adobe Connect application
This update does not include a new version of the Adobe Connect application, however we will be releasing updated version of the new standard applications shortly and will publish their release notes separately.
You will be prompted to install and run the Adobe Connect application in the following situations:
- You attempt to login to a meeting using a previous version of the Adobe Connect meeting application.
- You attempt to share your screen from a browser.
- You select “Switch to desktop application” from the meeting context menu.
The 'lightning installer' workflow, which installed the application directly from within the meeting, required the Flash Player and is no longer available.
