Adobe Connect - Switch Interact

Install the Adobe Connect app:
Not recommended but possible: Use your Browser with 'Adobe Flash' installed.
- When you open the URL for the lecture streaming in your browser, the browser will ask you for 'Flash', if not already installed.
- In most browser you have to actively permit execution of the Flash plugin: e.g. click on the flash icon (might look like a broken image) and grant access.
- Caution: be aware, Adobe Flash is an outdated technology and has frequest security problems. Best is to use the Adobe Connect app.
- Linux: there is no Adobe Connect app. You have to install Adobe Flash Player
- Do a test: https://collab.switch.ch/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm

Login Student

Open the Adobe Connect App and type the specific 'Adobe Connect lecture' URL.
Choose between personal AAI login (recommended¹) and guest login.

Speaker / Host

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 screenshare on Adobe Connect App, open Thinlinc.
First time:
- Log in: https://collab.switch.ch with your UZH AAI login.
- Create a meeting.
  - Create a name for your meeting, e.g. the module number of your lecture.
  - Typically do not request registration or named user, let the meeting open for anonymous access.
  - Start Time and Duration seem to do nothing (meeting stays open until you delete it)
  - If you have more than 30 participants, please check https://help.switch.ch/interact/seminar-licence/.
Publish the meeting url to your students. In this example: https://collab.switch.ch/mat820

Streaming

Log in to the URL which you provided to your students - use your AAI login.
Make yourself the 'Presenter'
Share your screen.
- Bring the application to the front, which should be shown to the students.
Or share just one application or window.
You can also share a single document or an interactive whiteboard (Good for Tablets & iPads).

Handwriting

Write on tablet or convertible
Write on regular paper / with a regula pen and record with your phone.
- Use a phone holder https://www.amazon.com/slp/long-flexible-arm-phone-mount/d6g97tz3rg5s485 - check some product reviews first on youtube 'phone holder review'.
- Find a solution (idea/picture by Hairuo Yang):

Windows: Tablet

Use an App wich you are comfortable with. E.g. OneNote, EverNote, PenBook, ...
Start the screen share and bring handwriting app to the front.

Sharing Whiteboard from iPad or Android

Currently you can only login as guest from the Mobile Apps (no AAI Login)
Login to your Meeting from a computer with your AAI login
Left Click on the Mobile Guest User and make it a "Presenter"
On the Mobile App\
- Switch to the second tab with the 3 Circles
- Share Whiteboard (or Document).

iPad

The iOs Adobe Connect App can't share the screen (as far as we know).
Workaround: share the iPad screen to the Mac and on the Mac there is Adobe Connect running and shares the MacBook screen: ios screen sharing.

Android

The Android Adobe Connect App can't share the screen (as far as we know).
Workaround: we share the tablet screen to the Notebook (Windows) and on the Notebook there is Adobe Connect running and shares the Notebook screen.
- Option 1 - Screen Stream (preferred)
- Option 2 - Airdroid
  - Requirement: Notebook & Tab should be in the same WLAN network. Do not use a WLAN guest network (might block direct traffic between devices)
  - Android: Install the App 'Airdroid' and start it.
  - Android: Select 'AirDroid Web.
  - Android: Choose Option 2: connect with IP address - get the provided IP
  - Notebook: Start a browser and type the IP in the location bar.
  - Android: Grant access on.
  - Notebook: Choose 'Screenshot' and select full screen.
- Option 3 - Skype / hello.math.uzh.ch > Video Chat
  - TBD
  - Video Quality might *not good enough* for handwriting.
  - For skype you need two accounts.
  - For hello.math.uzh.ch > Video Chat. Create a channel, place a call, connect
- Option 4 - MiraCast
  - Check that your tablet supports MiraCast.
  - E.g. Use Windows 10 - https://www.howtogeek.com/269093/how-to-cast-your-windows-or-android-display-to-a-windows-10-pc/
  - E.g. Samsung Galaxy S4 - https://allaboutgalaxys4.com/the-ultimate-guide-of-galaxy-s4-screen-mirroring/
