Feature Requests
(Top 20)
1. Subadministrator rights for each group (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.
2. Clean up procedure for inactive users
Reason: We would like to delete users, user meetings and user content, if they have been inactive for some time and have not responded to mail warnings after some time.
Work Around: we expect that we can set something up ourselves via the web-services-api.
3. Support for more file formats in Share Pod
Reason: People need more flexibility and direct upload and conversion of file types such as Word, Excel, Acrobat, various picture format.
4. 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 possible 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.
5. 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).
5. Echo cancellation on Mac platform
6. Adobe Connect Add-in for Linux
7. Use of H.264 video in stead of Flash 8
8. Built in QoS test of internet connection

13. Ability to download files in a share pod in a recording
Issues - current version
(Top 20)
1. If you setup a meeting room and add participant to the meeting, you will need to set the role of the participants to presenters, for the participant to get direct access to the meeting room (access via login).
Expected behavior: If you add participants to a meeting room they will all get direct access to the meeting room (access via login).
2. When deleting a user, the meetings and content of that user is not deleted
3. When remote controlling a Mac from a Windows or visa versa, via screen sharing, keyboard characters are not correct.
4. You are allowed to setup a meeting room with a URL that contains a dot (.), but you will get an error
