Lync Recordings disappeared after upgrade to Skype for Business

I had recorded some training sessions while my company was still using Lync. I recently upgraded to Skype of Business and can no longer find my recordings. Searching for *.mp4 files yields nothing. Where did my recorded training sessions go? Should they not still be accessible via Skype? Thanks in advance for any assistance out there!

Hi,
As far as I can tell for now, no.
Currently there is only a preview version of Skype for Business, you can download it from this link below:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-skype-for-business
Anyway, Lync will surely be upgraded to Skype for Business gradually in future updates or versions, please keep focusing on our products.

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

Skype for business/ Lync feature request

I know that Lync will soon be rebranded as 'Skype for Business' so it would be nice if this was a feature.
A useful feature would be if you could set what your bitrate was for your Lync Video call. For example, I have multiple sites with synchronous 50Mbit connections, I don't need Lync to auto change the quality. I need it to remain HD. I have the bandwidth
for it. I know other VC systems have the ability to set bitrates, so I think it would be a useful feature for Lync to incorporate. What do you guys think? Also, if we had CBR or less VBR 2-5Mbit. It would be a much better system for newscasting and the likes.

Hi,
I have recorded this request and thank you for your advice. Currently I can't guarantee this will be added, but please be assured that any improvements in the product are based on users' requirements. Our developers strive to capture Microsoft users' ideas
and are working hard to create a more powerful and easy-to-use product.

Skype for Business

We presently have an Office 2007 environment. We plan to deploy Skype for Business. What is the best deployment path? Install Lync 2013 and upgrade to Skype for Business or install Skype for business directly. Where can I find the Install server guides?

Deploy Skype for Business directly if you don't already have Lync 2013.
Deployment guides are here:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398616.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 and continuing to be developed. The server software will drop in early May.

Skype for Business - Cannot see shared screens, bu...

I just started a new job and am required to use Skype for Business. I downloaded Skype for Business 32 bit. My PC is 64 bit but because I already have other Office 32 bit programs, I cannot install the 64 bit version.
Everything in Skype for Business appears to work properly, except for the fact that I cannot see someone else's screen when they've shared it with me. When someone shares their screen with me, all that I can see is the empty white box where their desktop should be. When I share my screen with others, they can see my desktop correctly.
What other information is needed to help diagnose this issue? I really need this functionality in order to do my job properly.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I was using Lync as part of the offerings found on Office 365 and I was prompted to "upgrade" to Skype for Business and so I did per the suggestion. Lync had screen sharing, Skype for Business currently does not have screen sharing! This is a major dissapointment. Who is the product manager and why the premature roll-out? This is incredebly frustrating as most all my clients leverage Lync (their own install on their servers... have not upgraded yet.. lucky for them) and screen sharing is an important part of my interaction. It took many of my clients a long time to master Lync and therefore, it is incredebly challenging to teach them how to use an alternative tool over the phone. I feel incridebly duped. My clients can share with me however, I cannot share with them. What is the current timeframe for enabling (re-enabling) this functionality? How can I get back Lync? Is there a beta release of the next version? Finally, how can this be called "Skype for Business" when a core aspect of the tool to conduct "business" had been stripped away without warning?

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.)

Skype for Business, Transfer Calls appears blank

After the latest Skype For Business update a set of machines can no transfer calls.When attempting to transfer the "Invite by Name or Phone Number" screen is just a white box with an (x) close button.Once the June update KB/3054791 is removed:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3054791The machine is able to see the UI and transfer the calls correctly?Has anyone see this with the June update? We have further verified that if change your desktop setting for the resolution it wil make the transfer call window blank Default DPI is set to 125%. Doesn't work.100% works fine. 126% also works fine. We have been able to reproduce this on two other machines. Can someone also test to see if the same results happen.

A little more info... I've gone back to an affected computer and verified that setting the DPI to 125% for an unaffected user causes the issue in that situation. Many of our other computers don't exibit this issue after the KB3054791 update regardless of the DPI setting. I did try updating the video drivers on one of the affected computers and that made no diffrence. I'm still not sure what the correlation is between computers that are affected and computers that are not affected. It's very perplexing.

"Skype for business" Confusing meeting invitation

When I create a new online Meeting in Outlook Calendar with the Skype for Business client , it Automatically set meeting location as "Skype" and a url to click to "Join Skype Meeting". This is very confusing for
both internal and external users. People saying that they don't have Skype installed on their computers and don't have a Skype account. External users asks if we can host the Meeting on their GoToMeeting solution instead.
I hope there is a possibility to change the template or that Microsoft comes With a hotfix for this. The best would be if we could modify the text. If not, at least release a quick fix that adds "business" in the Location and "Join Skype
Meeting"
At the moment we have to manually change the location to Lync Meeting, and the url to "Join Lync Meeting" like it was before.
This is very frustrating

Hi,
Agree with ANthony Caragol.
I test the issue on my Lync environment, even I return the Skype For Business UI back to Lync UI, then restart Lync and Outlook, the Lync Meeting Add-in still show "Skype Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013".
So now the workaround is to change it to "Join Lync meeting" manually.

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!

How can get my Iphotos as screen saver ...all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested in deleting the files from the Finder ..now just left with the "squirly default " screensaver option

How can I get my Iphotos to show as my screen saver please ? all disappeared after upgrading ...I have done as suggested and deleted all relevant files , but now am only left with the "Squirly " screen saver option in the drop down menu and no option for Iphoto library.

Slow, intermittent. Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair- this is of no help.
I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

After Skype for Business: Meeting Options set in Outlook are not used in the Meetings

Hi everyone,
after the Update from Lync 2013 to the Skype for Business 2015 Client, I noticed that the Meeting Options you can set within Outlook (for example who needs to wait in the waiting room, is not used in the actual meeting.
Although the settings are persistent within Outlook, for every Meeting I currently must make sure that I am starting it before everyone else and set the same settings again within the meeting with the SfB Client.
Can someone confirm this behaviour? If yes, is this already known and a fix under way? Especially when you invite externals, sometimes I appreciate it if I need to approve them to pull them into the actual meeting instead of everyone just joining in midst
conversation or while you are preparing something.

Hi,
Would you please elaborate the "actual meeting" (Meet Now?)?
If you mean actual meeting to be Meet Now, it is the normal situation. The SFB meeting options set on Outlook will not affect the setting by Meet Now. You need to set the meeting option through SFB client when creating a "Meet Now" meeting.

Eason Huang
