What happens if I use the Adobe Connect Attendee pod to start breakout sessions?
If you start a breakout session using the Adobe Connect Attendee pod by moving users into breakout rooms and clicking the Adobe Start Breakouts button, the Vantage Point and rPhone pods may not load correctly. The audio connection for users in the room may behave inconsistently or become unstable. By default, the pod is designed to automatically display the Audio Wizard so users may reconnect but it is possible the meeting room may freeze and the rPhone or Vantage Point pod will appear as a grey square. If this occurs:
1. End the breakouts
Either 1) click Stop from the Breakouts tab of the VP Assistant Panel or 2) select End Breakoutsfrom the Attendee pod.
2. Open the Adobe Connect Pods menu
Select the Pods >>> Share option to view the menu of shared pods.
3. Remove and reinstall the rPhone and the Vantage Point pods
Click to deselect the rPhone and Vantage Point pods.
Reselect these pods. The Vantage Point pod will reload automatically. The rPhone pod must be manually reselected.
