How to enable Adobe Connect screen sharing

I'm using Adobe Connect 9.1 for the meetings and I often have to demonstrate something from my Linux Mint 17.2 machine. Unfortunately, Adobe Connect AddIn doesn't support screen sharing on Linux. It used to support in version 8, but for some reason they decided Linux users are not their target group. I would personally use some alternative such as Google hangout, but my company officially use Adobe connect for meetings, so I'm stuck with it. I'm wondering if there is any solution for this problem. I thought that it might be possible to have VirtualBox with Windows OS, and use it for screen sharing of the Linux host. However, it didn't work. Did anyone try something similar? For me, it would also work to use other Windows 7 laptop on the same LAN and access Linux through something like Team Viewer, so I can share screen in Adobe Connect. I know it is possible to share through the Google Hangout, but at some meetings I'm required to use Adobe Connect.
