What's new in Adobe Connect 9.5.4
Allowing Presenter Only Area (POA) in breakout rooms
Till now, the much used POA is closed automatically once the host starts Breakout rooms in a session.
With Adobe Connect 9.5.4, we changed the way Participants are given rights to certain capabilities. Instead of being promoted to be a full Presenter, Participants are instead given all the same capabilities (cameras, microphones, screen and content sharing, etc.) without being promoted. This allows us to keep the Presenter Only Area open without worry that participants will see it, even during breakouts! Now hosts and presenters can manage their attendees, moving participants between breakouts without stopping the session, take notes, and prepare content and polls, all from the Presenter Only Area – and all during the breakout sessions.
If we move users between the BORs while the breakout session is in progress, then the users retain the enhanced rights when BORs session is closed. This is a known issue.
Workaround : Move all your participants around in different BORs, if needed, before starting the breakout session or after stopping the session. Permanent fix for this issue will come in the next update
