Vidyo’s Personal Telepresence support for Adobe Connect 8

During the recent EDUCAUSE conference, Adobe and Vidyo demonstrated a new Vidyo plug-in for Adobe Connect and generated great enthusiasm among education professionals.

As a follow up to that positive response, today, Vidyo announced that it will support the latest version of Adobe’s enterprise Web conferencing solution, Adobe Connect 8, with a “personal telepresence” plug-in that is being jointly developed by both companies. The plug-in will integrate Vidyo and Adobe Connect using Vidyo APIs, and is the result of an ongoing collaboration to offer market leading solutions to Adobe users.

“Adobe Connect 8 makes video and collaboration experiences more engaging than ever before and with this new plug-in from Vidyo, users in education, government and other markets will be able, for the first time, to seamlessly participate in telepresence-quality Vidyo conferences,” said Guillaume Privat, director of product management, Adobe Connect.
