*Note: Ringing/showing invites to the most recent login is typical Skype4B behavior. I did hear my everyday computer – which also has Skype for Business installed – signaling me that I had a Meet Now invite. He did so, but I didn’t see any notice on the Mac. Meet Now: I had a co-worker initiate a Meet Now & invite me.
I was also able to invite people into the meeting once created.
I’m also able to adjust my Presence status, which I didn’t expect to have just yet. But I was able to join a scheduled meeting by clicking it. Scheduling: I was not able to schedule a meeting from the client. My test results, then, consisted of running through the preview client and verifying how much function I had for each Meetings aspect. Joining them, scheduling them, voice & video, and content sharing. Installing the Skype for Business Preview client did not affect the Lync client. Once I finished my test, I shut down the preview client and opened Lync for Mac.
#NEW SKYPE FOR MAC FOR MAC#
Login requires the same information as any other Skype4B client: username, password, and (depending on your server setup) domain. I needed to enter my domain in the following format: “DOMAINNAME\chris.williams.”Īnother helpful thing I noticed: This Mac has the Lync for Mac client installed.
#NEW SKYPE FOR MAC UPDATE#
I was pleased to see an update notice right away: Microsoft had pushed out a couple of new versions just in the few days between my download and the install! 1 was a little off there is a Present option, but it’s limited. I quickly found that 2 and 3 are accurate.
In my previous post I noted three things I saw in the Mac Preview content: The computer has 4GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. Starting the Testįor this and future tests of the Skype for Business Mac Client Meetings Experience, I used an older iMac desktop (still running El Capitan). Release Notes for Skype for Business Mac Preview (Stage 1, Meetings) – Office Supportįollowing the criteria I set last month, here are my testing observations. So far, the new Mac client is shaping up as a MUCH better app than Lync for Mac. Today I document Stage 1 of my testing to date. I got into the testing beta, and received the Stage 1 Meetings client a short time ago. Last month I blogged about the new Skype for Business on Mac preview program.
