Learn how to use the Notes pod during Adobe Connect to collaborate more efficiently in your virtual meetings and remote sessions.

Hosts and presenters use the Notes pod to take meeting notes that all attendees can view. The notes remain visible in the pod throughout the meeting or until a presenter edits them or displays different notes. A host can hide the Notes pod or switch to a different room layout that does not include it.

When you enter a message in the Notes pod within a specific layout, the identical text will appear in any other layouts that include the same pod. With the Add New Notes option, you can create a unique instance of a Notes pod that appears only in one layout.

Hosts and presenters can use the Notes pod in several ways:

  • Create a note in plain view for all attendees during the entire session.

  • Create multiple Notes pods to display different notes.

  • Share the contents of a Notes pod through email or export to a text file.

Note:

Adobe Connect administrators can change pod, sharing, and other settings to adhere to governance standards. These settings affect the layout of meeting rooms and what can be done in them. For more information, view Working with compliance and control settings.
