But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

We had a great crowd gathered and all went perfectly for the first 20 minutes until a sudden loss of audio made for what I’m sure must have been a frustrating hour for attendees. Thanks to some wonderful support from the Adobe Connect team we were able to identify, isolate and eradicate the problem with the audio service, and I then re-recorded the session. So the session is now […]

This will create a .bak file for your project (from second save onwards), which will contain the previously saved […]
