Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional (formerly Macromedia Breeze) is software used to create information and general presentations, online training materials, web conferencing, learning modules, and user desktop sharing. The product is entirely Adobe Flash based. All meeting workspaces are organized into 'pods'; with each pod performing a specific role (i.e. chat, whiteboard, note, etc.). The recommended database for backend support is Microsoft SQL Server. The product can be licensed as an installed product, or a hosted product.
Adobe Acrobat Connect is part of the Adobe Acrobat family.
The former Macromedia Breeze included four applications: Breeze Presenter, Breeze Training, Breeze Meeting, and Breeze Events. Following the acquisition by Adobe, Macromedia Breeze Meeting is now rebranded as Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional, and includes rebranded versions of Breeze Training, Breeze Meeting and Breeze Events.

History and marketplace competition
Prior to September 2006 when Macromedia products were added to the Acrobat product line, Adobe Connect was Macromedia Breeze. [1] It was renamed subsequent to Adobe's purchase of former competitor Macromedia. The rebranded Breeze products are as follows:
- Breeze Meeting is now Adobe Acrobat Connect Professional Meeting
- Breeze Training is now Adobe Acrobat Connect Training
- Breeze Events is now Adobe Acrobat Connect Events
- Breeze Presenter is now Adobe Presenter
- Breeze Server is now Adobe Acrobat Connect Enterprise Server
- Breeze Edge Server is now Adobe Acrobat Connect Edge Server
This product competes with Microsoft Live Meeting and Cisco WebEx and is designed for creating live presentations that can also be replayed "on demand". This product's audience is similar to that of Adobe Captivate.
