2. Better customization of user rights and roles for an AC installation, but also for each meeting room.
Reason: We would like to change user rights and roles universally for our AC installation, but also give each Host the possibility to change rights for a specific meeting room. For example we do not think that a Presenter should be able to switch off the sound of a meeting, deactivating all the cameras, closing down the meeting room, delete the chat/text (that cannot be undone) etc. This we believe is the role and rights of a Host. However, we would like the Presenter to be able to activate different layouts, which is not possible today, etc. (Feature request submitted: 6.4.10: version 7.5)

3.  Better control of the Connect add-in installation process. I would like to control and manually specify the minimum version requirement of the Connect add-in, and to control the actual version installed, when the user is prompted to install the add-in. Today this is not possible, as version control is hard coded into a SWF-file.Reason: The newest version of the add-in is typically the most stabile version. Next, unstable versions of the add-in may exist, that you as an administrator would the users to avoid installing. This is important to the general quality experienced by the users. (Feature request submitted: 24.3.10: version 7.5)Automatic creation of standard meeting room, when the user is created (or when users get Meeting Host status). Via account and login information the user will get a URL to the first meeting room. Preferably, the administrator would be able to turn off this feature. 

Reason: This would get users started very quickly. Most users would not need to get acquainted with the Connect Central interface, and would get direct access to the Connect meeting application. 

4. Adobe Connect Add-in for Linux
Reason: You can only cater for collaboration if you support all the major platforms. This also include Linux. Next, public institutions often choose systems based on broad public access to the systems used. Broad platform support and access therefore is very important.

7. Warning if user machine hits 90-100% CPU, and advice to pause or deactivate the video. 

Reason: Next to sound configuration, we find that proper CPU resources on the client machine is the biggest hurdle to high quality audio, video and screen sharing in meetings. Users should know when they have a CPU problem. The quickest way to solve the problem is often to pause the video. 

8. Subadministrator rights assigned to specific groups (admin interface)
Reason: Our users are assigned to a group for each institution and we would like to assign local administrator right to a person, or a number of individuals, from that group.

9. Better text editing features in Note Pod
Reason: The Note Pod is a fantastic collaboration tool. We would like to see an undo and redo function (if you delete text today, it is gone for good), and the ability for each a person to edit each a paragraph at the same time (as in Google Docs text editor).

10.  Better control of the Connect add-in installation process. I would like to control and manually specify the minimum version requirement of the Connect add-in, and to control the actual version installed, when the user is prompted to install the add-in. Today this is not possible, as version control is hard coded into a SWF-file.

Reason: The newest version of the add-in is typically the most stabile version. Next, unstable versions of the add-in may exist, that you as an administrator would the users to avoid installing. This is important to the general quality experienced by the users. (Feature request submitted: 24.3.10: version 7.5)

11. Better whiteboard/annotation tools: ability to remember your configuration settings. Better standard settings: i.e. no fill-colors in circles and squares. Better Text-tool (Selection of text is not shown. Pasting text into a text box does not constrain to a page, and extend beyond the page margin etc.).

Reason: In many cases people end up sharing their screen and using a third party drawing tool as a whiteboard/annotation tool. With just a few improvements whiteboard/annotation tools in Connect would provide the right quality needed. 

1112. Better user interface in Adobe Connect Central. Turn of menus that the user has not got the right to use. No more " you have not got the authorization ..." etc. Next, setup a default meeting room when users are created. 

Reason: It should be very easy for users to get started. If they got a link to their first default meeting room as a first thing when created as a users, a lot of people would not need to enter the Adobe Connect Central administration interface. Improving the usability of Connect Central is important. Users should not have menus, that are not relevant to them. 

1312. Allow to retain a recording for public access should a user be deleted from the system with her or his agreement.
Reason: An organisation might want to provide access to  recorded Webinars even after a host has left that organisation and his rights and conferences in the system have been deleted.

1314. Viewing of recordings directly in meeting rooms via Share Pod

1415. Ability to download files from a file share pod in a recording

1516. Ability to zoom windows/pods in a recording

1617. Calculation (and show) of Agree and Disagree (feedback emoticons)

1718. Allow to select, which presenters mouse movements can be seen and which not.

1819. If a participants' computer creates trouble, or has a bad connection, indicate which one it is.
