  2. When the new/empty share pod appears, Custom Pods can be imported directly into an Adobe Connect Meeting, using one of the following methods:
      • Drag and drop the Custom Pod ZIP file directly into the share pod
      • Custom Pods can also be imported by using the standard menu items. Select Document > Browse My Computer and select the ZIP file from its downloaded location on your computer.
      • Custom Pods can also be shared from the Shared Content (or My Content) folders of Adobe Connect by following a similar process. This method is preferred for content that is shared among multiple Meetings, such as Custom Pods
