  • Skype for Business integration?

    Hi. I work for a small company. We have a few members of staff in the UK who work from home and the rest are in an office in the US. In the UK, we use the Skype Number as our 'office' number and have Skype credit for making calls. 
    Our IT person in the US wants to get everyone using Skype for Business as we now have this as part of our Office 365 subscription with Office, Exchange etc. 
    My question is thus whether I can get any of the Skye Number and Skype credit features on the Skype for Business account? I've searched high-and-low and it doesn't look like we can, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone can help me with a definitive answer.
    Thanks!

  • Will there be a Skype for Business standalone non click to run installer made available tomorrow?

    I would like to know where I will be able to download a non click to run version of Skype for Business when it is released tomorrow. I need the normal installer because I need to turn off the feature, 'Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation Support' as it breaks
    Outlook in Office 2007.
    Thanks!

    Hi Buck614,
    As Anthony stated, it is a patch to Lync 2013 client.
    A few notes and the related KB for your reference. (Both updates are cumulative and contain all previously released fixes for Lync 2013.)
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2889923
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2889853
    Notes:
    You must install both patches on a minimum build of
    15.0.4569.1506 (SP1).
    After you apply this April 14, 2015 update, Lync 2013 will be upgraded to Skype for Business.  Info about the new
    experience in Skype for Business.
    For your customers information: You can still use the Lync client user interface after you apply this update for Skype for Business. Here is info on how to switch between the Skype
    for Business and the Lync client user interfaces for
    Office 365 users and
    Lync Server 2013 users.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • Skype for Business manager window popping up randomly after typing/clicking/working

    Hello there,
    I work for a national charity and we have recently upgraded our computers and employees to Skype for Business. My co-worker is having an issue where no matter what she's working on, after every few clicks or letters typed, the Skype for Business window pops up. I've looked in the Settings under each tab but I haven't found a solution. It's preventing us getting good work done for those afflicted with the disease we're fighting against, so I was hoping a good samaritan could help me on this community board in fixing the issue.
    I hope that you can help,

    Skype for Business - Windows Phone appWhat’s new—intuitive interface, more emoticons, improved server communicationsIf you are familiar with the Lync app for Windows Phone, you’ll notice a number of enhancements in the new app. The most noticeable differences right off the bat are the Skype for Business brand and UI, which is intuitive and familiar if you happen to use Skype in your personal communications. We’ve also revamped emoticons, which now offers over 100 emoticons to land your message visually.

  • Combining Skype and Skype for business accounts

    Hi Guys, My company have provided me with Skype for Business today and setup an account using my work email address. I've been using Skype for a number of years and have all of my clients on there (200+ contacts) What is the simplest way to move across? Is there a way of combining my Skype account and my Skype for business account? Or alternatively is there a way to export my Skype contacts and to import them into Skype for business? I see you can export from Skype but couldn't see a way to import into Skype for business. Your help would be much appreciated. Will

  • Skype for Business and "normal" skype on same lapt...

    The company I work for have just replaced Lync with Skype for Business, but how can I have Skype for Buiness and my "normal" Skype on the same laptop

    They are two different programs.  I have both installed on several machines without issue.  I doubt you can use both simultaneously fully (like being on a video call on both at the same time, I don't know why you would) but they can definitely be installed side by side on the same computer.

  • Skype for Business Client update

    Hi,
    First of all let me get this out of the way "Microsoft Office 365 support sucks".
    now the simple question:
    If office proplus is installed via portal (through on-click run), how does it get the update for skype for business?
    I have over 1000 users and its not feasible to run the updates via an office application on each machine.
    (Note: getting update does not mean UI change. it simply means the client is updated and ready to accept the UI once it is allowed via csclientpolicy in a update Lync server environment).
    (Note 2: the useless O365 support says it will come through windows updates; I have done multiple tests on different test machines and that is not correct. Another technet says office proplus updates are done through scheduled tasks. Even if the office automatic
    update task runs, the client does not get updated with new Skype for Business.)

    Hi Atif7865,
    Please check out this thread
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/172/t/345370.aspx
    “Q2. Where can I download Skype for Business since it does not appear to be included with the Office365 download file? ====================== A2. You need to manually update your Office application,
    then you will be able to upgrade to Skype for Business. You can to do this on your Outlook client: Open your Outlook client ->
    FILE ->
    Office Account ->
    Apply updates”
    And this issue is more related to Office 365 application,
    we would like to give a hand, but we are not the specialists in this filed. Thanks for your understanding.

  • Any way to remove the prompt after Skype for Business patch?

    So we rolled out the latest patches to our test machines and everyone got the new Skype for Business upgrade.  When each person logged in they were greeted with a window that said something like:
    "Your administrator is set for you to use the Lync User Interface."
    We then had to click the Restart Now button which caused Lync to close and open up again and it looked like Lync instead of like Skype.
    Is there any way to not have that pop up open and to just have everyone get the old Lync interface as if nothing happened?  GPO, Registry, etc?
    We want to minimize any confusion people are sure to have the first time they use it.
    Thanks!

    You can enable the SkypeUI (Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -EnableSkypeUI $true) with the backend still being Lync Server 2013 to get the new client look and feeling.
    The Skype for Business 2015 RTM Server bits should be out in May, but the current new functionality can be taken from:

    Please mark posts as answers/helpful if it answers your question.
    Blog
    Lync Validator - Used to assist in the validation and documentation of Lync Server 2013.
    Can I just enable it for individual users for testing?  I tried doing a get-csclientpolicy and replacing -identity global with -identity <user ID> but it said it didn't exist since it seems it's looking for policies.  Not sure if there's
    some other way to do that.
    Do I need to setup a new policy and just add certain people to it or is there any other way to do that for specific users?
    Thanks!

  • Lync 2013 - Skype for business User Interface

    Hello,
    We are using Lync 2013 with Lync 2013 server with CU from August 2014 (so not ready for Skype for Business).
    I have installed latest Desktop Updates for Windows and Office, and now everytime we log on we get the Skype for Business UI with the question to restart the client with the Lync UI.
    I have followed the recommendation in this article:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn954919.aspx
    I have set this:
    In the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync] key, create a new
    Binary value.
    The Value name must be  EnableSkypeUI, and the
    Value data   must be set  to 00 00 00 00.
    But this settings seems to be completely ignored... doesn't do anything.
    We can't set the policy on the server, as the server is not yet up-to-date and doesn't know about a Skype UI policy.
    Can somebody please tell me how I can start the updated Lync / Skype for Business client with the Lync UI as a default (without disturbing the user with the restart-the-client pop-up)?
    Thanks a lot!

    Hi,
    As mentioned the Lync Server is not up-to-date, based on my knowledge this is why the issue occurs.
    Please refer to this article below:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn954919.aspx
    You can configure the client experience only if you are running Lync Server 2013 with the December 2014 Cumulative Update (5.0.8308.857) or later installed. The latest one is:
    KB 3036869 February 2015 Cumulative Update 5.0.8308.871 for Lync Server 2013 Core Management Server.
    You can specify the client experience the users in your organization will see by using the
    Set-CSClientPolicy cmdlet with the EnableSkypeUI parameter:
    Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global -EnableSkypeUI $true

  • Skype for Business Android client (feature request)

    Hi, I assume that the Mobile version of Skype for Business client is due out soon to replace Lync 2013 client, one thing i really wish would be added is the ability to send files to mobile clients.  Surely this isnt a big technical problem as the Windows clients already do this so surely this could be added to the mobile clients.  Having this feature would really make life so much better for our small business as we could send out documents to our engineers instead of emailing them.  Doing this via S4B would immediately notify the engineers of the msg and then it would allow quick and easy 2 way msging between the office and engineers.  I really cant see why this feature wasnt in Lync 2013? Also is there any news of an ETA for Skype for business mobile clients? Thanks JK
