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

Hi,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Has anyone seen any issues with persistent Chat in the Skype for Business Technical Preview client? No Messages dispalyed.

    Hi all,
    We are testing out the new Skype for Business technical preview client
    with Lync 2013 and although we're not really users of Persistent Chat, I wanted to install this feature too so I added a server pool just to check things out.
    I can post and even search the history (which shows results), but apart from seeing my immediate post, when I close the room a re-enter I see nothing. I get a notifications that there are new posts, but clicking "Read" button also does nothing.
    We're off for Easter and I wont have access to another Lync 2013 client until we return, so I'm not sure if there is just something odd with my installation.
    I would be interesting to see if other are having this issue.
    Cheers

  • Skype for Business client not responding after audio/video/screen sharing

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a strange situation in my organisation. We have more than 200 clients and we are using Lync 2013. When Skype for Business (SFB) came out I tested it and found one problem - every time when I trying to make a audio or video call or what ever kind of
    file sharing or screen sharing then SFB client will hang and have error "SFB not responding". I can click restart the client and close button. So it´s not possible to call or share anything with that. Specially bad is that is eferyone else is calling
    to me it cause the same problem - client will die. So it´s very easy to kill my client :) At the beginning I thought that it´s my computer problem but then it turned out that allmost all clients have the same problem. Computers are different kind of Lenovo
    laptops. 
    What can cause the problem? I have installed and reinstalled the client. I have updated all the drivers. I have removed Personal Skype to make sure that it won´t cause the problem but problem is still there. Server itself is updated with latest CU and Skype
    for Business UI is enabled as default UI. 
    Br,
    Taavi

    Hi,
    Please try to uninstall the default Sound Card, VGA Device/Video Card, Graphic Card, and use the default system driver to test the issue. Because sometimes update driver to the latest version doesn't work but only use the default system.
    Please also make sure OS system update to the latest version.

  • 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

  • Find me/Follow me features in Skype for business/S...

    Does Skype for Business support find me / follow me features?
    I recently discovered that if you associate a Business Account with a SIP profile, that account can no longer log in to the Skype App anywhere. 
    I was looking for the ability to have a call come in to a skype number and ring all devices such as the mobile phone app/desktop app/assigned SIP profile. 
    This way a business user can pick up calls on there office phone or on their mobile/computer when on the go.

    Skype account association to a SIP account should have not effect on your ability to log in to a Skype app. What happens now if you try to sign in to Skype with that account?

  • Skype for business - how do I get my chat groups?

    My company just implemented Skype for business.  I have some chat groups in my previous version of Skype desktop.  How do I get those chat groups into Skype for business?
    Thanks.

    Hey!
    you can use a permanent chat server with skype for business, for permanent chat rooms. But otherwise chats run the same way like with skype, you just add people to the conversation. when they leave the conversation, you have to add them again when you continue chatting.
    One big issue is that you cannot yet do group chats with regular skype users. So once any normal skype user is in your chat, you cannot add anyone else. This is a missing feature they still have to implement.
    And I also fear you will still not like the way the chat history is synced over different devices. So you will not have full chat history on different devices yet. This also affects your requested group chats, since skype for business will not auto-sync all chats on all devices.
    I guess you have to wait a bit longer until the new mobile clients and mac clients are out to fix of the things above.
    Cheers,
    Florian

    Hi Ketan Tank,
    Agree with Anthony, you can get the updates (KB2889923 & KB2889853) through Windows Update.
    The Skype for Business Client will already be activated as it is an update to an existing licensed product.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

    Hi Stefan,
    High-resolution user photos are displayed in Lync 2013 meetings when an active speaker does not have video enabled. Also, moving the mouse over thumbnail photo in the gallery will display the
    high-resolution photo.
    Looks like the configurations are correct. Can you reproduce this issue by using Lync 2013 client ?
