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,
Jena

does anyone know if there is a way to actually speak to SKYPE? i would like to discuss different business options (I have spent 20 mins searching the website and internet for a contact us and resorted to this, much like google! ridiculous that you cannot speak to a human being !!!)

  • Skype for Business - Manage the .msi but not Users...

    We are considering deploying Skype for Business across our large, international organization.  Two questions:
    Can we disable the File Transfer function in the .msi we push out to everyone?  Our concern is data leakage of confidential information.
    Our central IT shared services group wants to manage the configuration and deployment of the .msi but not be tasked with managing everyone's Skype accounts and billing/funding issues.  Does Skype account creation and funding of those accounts remain with the individual Skype user when Skype for Business is used?  
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    From your description above, did you use Lync 2013 basic version?
    Please check if Windows 7 update to the latest version firstly.
    As Holger Bunkradt said above, please try to install the update manually.
    Best Regards,

  • Skype invites not received by Skype for Business users

    I'm a system Administrator who manages an Office 365 Tenancy.  We are currently testing Skype for Business (formerly Lync Online).During initial testing we are finding that invite requests sent from a Skype account using Skype windows client version 7.5.0.10  is not being received by our Skype for Business windows client (15.0.4711.1002)I have raised this issue with an Engineer that works with the Lync Online Support team and he has duplicated the issue.The strange thing is that invites sent from the Skype for Business (formerly Lync Online) windows client are received successfully by Skype. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?thanks,  

    I have the exact opposite problem. Using Skype for Business (on Windows), I searched for my personal Skype account and sent an invite (at least SfB told me the invite was sent). But after logging on to Skype with my personal account on my Mac, I did not receive the invite. Furthermore, when using Skype to search for my work SfB account, no results were found, even when the "Allow anyone to contact me" setting on that account is selected.

  • Skype for Business freezes on Fullscreen

    Hi, I have 2 office 365 computers running windows 7 i7 8GB RAM Nvidia graphics cards. Latest chipset drivers, fully uptodate graphic drivers. One PC is in Bristol the other in Bath. Im trying to setup Skype for Business between the 2 of them and it is working very well untill I maximise at leased one of them to full screen. Both buildings are connected to the internet via 100/100mb fibrelink. When you put Skype for Business into full screen mode it freezes for about 1-2 mins and then gives you 1 frame change every minute or so. Can anyone help? could skype/microsoft produce a fix and quick?

    We are seeing the same issue, and suspect packet delays on internet to be the culprit.Please post if you were able tto find a solution. thanks

    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.

  • 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

  • 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:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn933785.aspx
    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!

  • Skype for business questions

    Hello,
    One of our customers is planning to implement Skype for Business in their infrastructure with 150+ users. They have some questions regarding Skype and we are unable to answer some of them, so i kindly ask you to assist us with the answers of those questions:
    Is it possible to block all external users (contacts, messages and free skype calls) and comunicate only with the internal employees?
    Is it possible to block (centraly) the options to change the address book or the settings in Skype?
    Is there a option to have centraly managed history log?
    Are there any additional fees for the implementation and how much SkypeOut $ credit is required to enable Skype for Buisness?
    Thank you and best regards,
    Zhivko Zhekov

    Is it possible to block all external users (contacts, messages and free skype calls) and comunicate only with the internal employees?
    Yes. Let you configure your company's firewall/router to only allow connections on a certain port thats routed via LAN and have all internal users set alternative port for Skype.
    I'll assume with the above question, each Skype ID doesn't have any external contacts already incorporated into each account for company use only.
    More details on what ports are required for Skype:
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA148/which-ports-need-to-be-open-to-use-skype-for-windows-desktop
    If they using Mobile version of Skype, that could get trickier as they probably would still be connected different service provider giving them external access on ports if logged into Skype in two places at once. *I haven't tried this but that's what I would suggest*
    Thanks,
    Kent C.

  • 306MB security update for Skype for Business

    Hi Microsoft or Community,
    I went through a list of updates being shown by WIndows update (I'm on 8.1) and was stunned to see this
    Security update for Skype for Business(KB3039779) 64Bit: 306MB
    Security update for Skype for Business(KB3054946) 64Bit: 100.1MB
    What's going on? What happened to the small and light messaging clients? I mean the above update is about 400MB that too, just security. Are you intending to update just skype or is this going to write all over the Windows 8 binaries.  I believe the messaging client has to be/can be less that 50MB in total. Use the media, networking and security layers of the host OS, don't rewrite these in the messaging client. In fact the design philosphy from mobiles should carry over.
    The biggest advantage MS has here is that you write the OS too where the security and multi-media capabilities should logically be added. If the 400MB above is updating those capabilities then call it a windows update.
    For now I will uncheck the update box, so I don't install the above two patches. Please escalate this to MS product management and add to your product roadmap to design and release a compact skype.
    Thanks and regards,
    A Samel

  • Skype for business unable to pick what device calls are trasfered to

    Hi all Ever since the change from linc to SFB I no longer have any control over what device calls get transfered too. As an example I take an outside call caller needs to be transferred to my co-worker I try and transfer to my co-workers skype however it will always transfer to his/her mobile phone. This happens regardless of the settings my co-workers settings in skype. This is extremely frustrating as i have a few unhappy engineers giving me dirty looks when the calls go sometimes randomly to whatever device Skype sends a call too.  Please note I do not have access to Skype manager. 

    In Skype that can occur if the person is not online (or appears offline), so it forwards to their offline contact (phone number).   Since you have Skype for Business you should be contacting your admin or possibly finding a solution in the Office Community forums.  If you are the admin and are unable to find a solution, you should be putting in a request with Microsoft Office support.  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=270873

  • Need Help with Skype for Business!

    I purchased the Skype for business for an entire year. Now, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to log in. Do I have to link it to original skype? I am new to this and have no knowledge of the formats of Skype or it for business.
    Subject/title expanded to reflect post content a little more accurately.

    Hi, and no need to feel stupid!
    Welcome to this on-line community.
    A few questions for you to clarify the Skype product you are working with, so we can send you in the right direction in an effort to resolve the problem:
    Are you referring to either Skype Manager, or Skype Connect?  Do you recall what "business" product you have? 
    Or, what are you trying to sign in to?  A Skype account via the Skype website, or the software itself?
    This FAQ article should help unravel the mysteries of the differences between a personal Skype account and a Skype For Business (formerly known as Lync) configuration: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34551/what-s-the-difference-between-skype-and-skype-for-business
    Thanks in advance for providing the additional details.
