How to fix Adobe Connect not working
Adobe Connect is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach adobe.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Rejoin the Adobe Connect meeting
If your meeting freezes or shows a loading message, close the meeting tab or window and open the meeting link again. Sign out and sign back in if the room still hangs. Wait a few seconds.
Run the Audio Setup Wizard
If nobody can hear you or you cannot hear anyone, open the Meeting menu and choose Audio Setup Wizard. Follow the prompts to pick your speaker and microphone, then run the test. If the test fails, choose a different output device in the wizard and try again.
Allow camera and mic in Adobe Connect
If the camera or mic is blocked, check your browser's site permissions for the meeting page. In Chrome, open Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings, then select Camera or Microphone and allow the meeting site; in Edge, use Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Camera or Microphone. Reload the meeting after you change the permission.
Try the Adobe Connect app
If the browser session keeps dropping or the camera never starts, join the meeting through the desktop app instead. Open the meeting and run the Audio Setup Wizard again. If it still fails on your usual Wi-Fi, try a mobile hotspot or another network, because a VPN or firewall can block the meeting connection.
While Adobe Connect is down: what to use instead
- Zoom You can share screens.
- Microsoft Teams Your team keeps classes and breakout work going when hosts cannot enter virtual rooms because screen share and recording stay in one place for everyone.
- Google Meet Guests join fast in a browser when you send a link to outside attendees.
- Cisco Webex Hosts start webinars there when recordings will not play back.
Fix Adobe Connect on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone
Adobe Connect on Windows
- Fix
- Clear the Adobe Connect application cache from your AppData folder, or ensure the app is allowed through the Windows Defender Firewall. You can also try running the application as an administrator.
- Check
- Check if Adobe Connect is down on Windows by running the official Adobe Connect Diagnostic Connection Test in your web browser. If the browser version works but the desktop app fails, the issue is likely local.
ping adobe.comTest whether Adobe Connect's servers replynslookup adobe.comCheck that Adobe Connect's DNS resolvestracert adobe.comTrace where the connection dropsipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reloadAdobe Connect on Mac
- Fix
- Ensure Adobe Connect has permission to access your camera and microphone under System Settings, or reinstall the macOS desktop application. Clearing your default browser's cache can also resolve loading issues.
- Check
- To see if Adobe Connect is down on Mac, try accessing the meeting room link via Safari or Chrome. If both the web client and the desktop app fail to load, check the Adobe System Status page.
ping -c 4 adobe.comTest whether Adobe Connect's servers replynslookup adobe.comCheck that Adobe Connect's DNS resolvestraceroute adobe.comTrace where the connection dropssudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reloadAdobe Connect on Android
- Fix
- Clear the Adobe Connect app cache and data under your device's Application Manager, or reinstall the app from the Google Play Store. Make sure the app has permissions enabled for your camera and microphone.
- Check
- Verify if Adobe Connect is down on Android by switching from Wi-Fi to cellular data to rule out local network issues. You can also check the Google Play Store reviews for recent outage complaints.
Adobe Connect on iPhone and iPad
- Fix
- Reinstall the Adobe Connect app from the App Store and verify that microphone and camera access are enabled in your iOS Settings. Restarting your iPhone or iPad can also resolve connection glitches.
- Check
- Check if Adobe Connect is down on iOS by attempting to open the meeting link in Safari. If the page fails to load in both the browser and the app, the service may be experiencing a wider outage.
Problems at the same time as Adobe Connect
Since 10 October, Adobe Connect's only spike in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Adobe Connect goes down
Adobe Connect is a webinar and virtual classroom platform that trainers and companies use for live sessions, screen sharing, polls and recordings, so an outage interrupts scheduled classes and client demos. The status at the top of each page flags user problem reports above their usual level in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, and the site does not ping, probe, poll or monitor the service.
During an outage, the meeting room often fails to load first, so you get a blank screen or a connection error before the session starts. If you get inside, audio may drop or refuse to join, and screen sharing can freeze. Chat can lag, and recordings may fail to open after a session ends. Problems are often regional or partial, so one area can fail while other sessions run; for service-side detail, check the official status page or the help centre.

Adobe Connect FAQ

How we track Adobe Connect
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Adobe Connect, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Adobe Connect, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Adobe Connect's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
