Create a virtual classroom
- Go to the Training tab and select My Training.
- Select New Virtual Classroom; give it a name and language, there is the option to give it a classroom ID, custom URL, summary, start date, duration, and select who has access. When Access is set to “enrolled students only”, then you must invite students for them to be able to access the meeting. This involves adding students to your room one by one during the initial setup. If it is set to “enrolled students and accepted guests”, then you can invite students or you can accept them individually when they attempt to enter the meeting room. If it is set to “anyone who has the URL for the virtual classroom can enter the room”, then anyone can get in if they know the URL of your room which can be distributed to students easily. This is the recommended option.
- Select Next; there is the option to enroll learners. To add students select the students on the left side and click the Add button. To remove students select the students on the right side and click the Remove button.

There is a limit on how many users can be in a virtual classroom at one time. There is a soft limit of 200 and a hard limit of 250. These virtual classrooms are always available unless deleted.
To create training templates:
If multiple virtual classrooms use the same layout, the layout can be saved as a template. This prevents you from having to recreate the layout for each virtual classroom.
- Create a virtual classroom and create the desired layout in Adobe Connect.
- Select the virtual classroom, Move, My Training Templates, and Move again.
- When creating a new virtual classroom select the template from the drop-down menu beside Select Template.
