Skype for Business & Lync : Contact icons not appe...

In our environment we have several users that are using Skype for Business, and the rest using Lync.
We have noticed that when migrating our users over to Skype for Business, the contact functionality that shows "icons" next to each person's name is now blank.
As an example, my personal icon shows up for me but none of my contacts show their customized pictures.
Lync users can see my icon and can see everyone elses.
Thank you

Hi Alan Dooley,
Have you tried to create a new desktop shortcut ?
In addition, you can try to follow the FAQ below to rebuild the icon cache.

Is Skype for Business HIPAA compliant?

I am looking for a HIPAA-compliant videoconferencing platform for medical use. To achieve HIPAA compliance I will need Skype to sign a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement. Is this available?

Thanks for coming back with the information.
Please reach out to your Lync (soon to be "Skype for Business") sales contact at Microsoft who will be able to answer the question about HIPAA compliance. I'm not aware that the current Skype applications ever went through that review.

Getting contacts into Skype for Business

Hi there,
I'm trying out the new Skype for Business, all installed great but I would like to import my previous contacts from my old Skype account. How can I do this? I appear to have no contacts at current.
Nick.

It's okay I see now, I need to put them into my Office 365 contacts. As this is a new account there aren't any so I will use Outlook to export from my old account and then again to import them into my new account.

Lync 2013 / Skype for Business sharing photos with federated contacts

In the new SfB client I can see photos of federated contacts. I'm on Office 365 and this only happens for Federated contacts also hosted on Office 365 where we have an Exchange organisation relationship. I'm not sure if this
is because of the new client, updated server software in Office 365 or something I just missed before.
If I look into the client debug files I can see that the photo URL for Office 365 includes the wssecurity (federated authentication) but for onprem system it's missing.
I have customers with Lync onprem asking for sharing the high res photos with external organisations. The classic URL-sharing is not a viable solution for several reasons. So, based on these findings:
Is the wssecurity (Web Service Security) in the EWS path something that will come to SfB server for onpremises making ot possible to enable photo sharing between organisations having federated identity configured in Exchange?
Lync Onprem (with highres photos configured)
<photo type="exchange">
<uri>
<ewsUrl>https://mail.example.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx</ewsUrl>
<primarySMTP>[email protected]</primarySMTP>

Hi,
The Skype For Business Server update will come soon, I couldn't find any information about if the WSSecurity would be added to the EWS path for sfb. You can check when the update for Skype For Business comes. Thank you for your understanding.

Adding Skype for business contacts from skype

Hi everyone,
We've just made the move from Skype, to Skype for business, and I have logged in, merged my account etc and still dont have any of my Skype contacts appearing in Skype for business.
The only option I can see at the moment is to add all of the same people again in a different application? Surely that can't be the case as that makes Skype for business almost entirely pointless,.... any tips?
Thanks all.

Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
We'll check this issue and advise. Thanks for raising it. Please confirm which Operating System you are using and that you are running the latest software version.

Skype for business vs Skype personal

I have Skype for Business with my work. However I have family in other parts of the world, so I would like to keep my peronal Skype also, where I have credit for phonecalls. Is that possible?

Skype for Business keeps on creashing when trying to make a call or receive a call. I can message other people and receive messages but thats about it. I have reinstalled skype for business to no avail. I have read a few of these forums and one thing that has been advised is to update drivers which I have done now. However I have still attached the DxDiag file in zip format for your perusal. This problem occured before for me and i recreated my user profile and this seemed to resolve the issue but the problem is occuring again now randomly. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

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 - Skype search Directory

Hi all,
we use Office pro plus from office 365. However, we have our on-premise Lync servers since we use enterprise voice.
As of yesterday, I have got the Skype for Business and it looks great. All demos show that with Skype for Business we will be able to search Skype contacts right from the search box. In my case I can not search regular skype users from Skype for Business
client. Does anyone know what could be the reason?
Thanks,

The server is due out on May 1st, but I'm not sure there's an article yet... I can't find one. It would be in here somewhere I'd think when it exists:

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 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

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:

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!
