Accessing an Adobe® ConnectTM recording is easy. The host makes the recording URL available so attendees can play the recording. To access the recording, follow these steps:
- Access the meeting room in the Adobe Connect My Home Page, through the tab marked Meetings. Under My Meetings, locate the room where a recording was made. Every recording is automatically assigned a unique URL and is stored on the Recordings tab for the meeting room in Acrobat Connect Pro Central.
- Select a recording.
- When you play a recording, a control bar appears in a space below the meeting room to allow you to play or pause the recording, see the elapsed time and control the volume. For optimal performance, a high-speed Internet connection is recommended for listening to the playback.
Control Access to a Recording
You can control who has access to a recording. Any user who is invited to the meeting as a host has rights to browse the Acrobat Connect Pro Central application where the recording is stored, and can view the recording and see information such as permissions. Any user invited to the meeting using the invitees or enrollees tabs in Acrobat Connect Pro Central can view the recording, if given the recording URL.
Other users can be given access by using the recording public/private option (the default is private). Changing the option to “Public” gives anyone in the world with the URL access to the server the ability to view the recording. To limit such widespread access, move the recording to the Content Library and set specific user permissions.
Note: Moving the recording to the Content Library is an irreversible action.

If you are unable to open the recording, you may not have rights to access the recording.
