- To use screen sharing: you have to install and use the Adobe Connect App (see above).
Important: there is no Adobe Connect for Linux (only the browser version)
NO SCREEN SHARE for linux >> NO SCREEN SHARE via Thinlinc!
If you like to show your Thinlinc desktop, use your Windows or Apple Notebook, start screen share on Adobe Connect App, open Thinlinc.
- First time:
Log in: https://collab.switch.ch with your UZH AAI login.

If you have more than 30 participants, please check https://help.switch.ch/interact/seminar-licence/.
- Create a name for your meeting, e.g. the module number of your lecture.
