Do I need to wear a headset? Or what other equipment do I need?
To participate in an Online Meeting (using Adobe Connect) Hosts, Presenters and Participants need a
headset (headphones and microphone). Headsets can be purchased from the CSU Computer Shop or
retail outlets.
Make sure your headset is connected to your computer before you start the setup.
It is recommended you run the “Audio Setup Wizard” a few days before your first Adobe Connect
meeting in case you need to resolve any audio problems:

If your computer has an inbuilt or webcam microphone for optimum performance you will need to
choose the headset option when running the “Audio Setup Wizard”.
If you join the meeting from a mobile device, it will natively have a microphone and speaker. Most
modern laptops also have built-in speakers, microphone and webcam.
What other equipment do I need?
Internal speakers will also be required to hear other participants. External speakers can create feedback
issues.
A webcam can be useful but is not essential.
