Download an Adobe Connect recording

To be honest, the downloading mechanism is clunky.  The recordings are really meant to be streamed from the server.

 

You can download the recording by logging into the server… https://meeting.sinc.stonybrook.edu/

 

Finding your room… entering it. Going to Meeting -> Manage Meeting Information

 

This opens up a browser, find the Recordings tab.

Locate the recording, select the action pull down, “Make FLV”

You may have to install an Adobe Connect Add-in.

 

Then it has to be left to play in real time to download and convert to the FLV format.
