CU3) now on-premises Skype for Business deployments can join in the fun. With the application of these server updates the ASMCU and all related components are now VBSS-aware and the functionality is identical to what is explained above, although it can be turned off if desired.

Using this method will disable the use of VBSS and limit the client to using RDP for Desktop Sharing in any and all scenarios. This is applicable to both on-premises and online user accounts as the configuration is performed solely at the workstation level and does not depend on any server-side management control. • Using either the Registry Editor (or an Active Directory Group Policy configuration) set either of these registry values to control the applicable client(s) based on their platform (32 or 64 bit).

I’m sure Microsoft could have held it back longer for more feature additions, but they opted not to. Kind of glad they did; Mac users have dealt with Lync for Mac for too long. That said, the new Mac client does have limitations.

I passed this message over to Microsoft Premier Support and they are currently working (at least I hope) on getting a fix for this issue. They have recommended me to remove our antivirus, and other security software’s that we run in our environment but none of their suggestions have worked. Not sure if I missed this from your blog but is there any explanation that you know of why this is happening? Do you have any suggestions that I can pass along to Microsoft to help them resolve this issue? Thanks again, you’re the best. I’m greatly interested in following your articles as my company is both a MS SfB shop and Polycom shop. While this particular blog post is excellent, I think it’s a bit over my head technically.

It’s the most foolproof way to approach the problem if you have an external webcam, and works regardless of the hardware or operating system. Disable It in the BIOS If you have a laptop with an integrated webcam (or a rare all-in-one desktop model that also sports an integrated webcam), you have a few options. If your BIOS supports it, you can disable it at the BIOS level, which is ideal. Reboot your computer and enter into the BIOS (follow the on-screen instructions to enter “SETUP”, typically by pressing the F2 key, the DEL key, or a function key combination of some sort). Look through the BIOS options for an entry labeled something like “webcam,” “integrated camera,” or “CMOS camera.” These entries will typically have a simple toggle, like enable/disable or lock/unlock.

But no no no instead, we have to wrangle custom scripts and do all kinds of funky hacks just to turn off the webcam! How do you feel about this? Does it bother you that your webcam is always there with no off switch? Let me know in the comments. If anything, it’s even more likely that it’s affected and easier to accomplish. Apple is consistently moving into the complete control of your device and data arena with each update, and no doubt continuing to comply with the NSA, etc to circumvent security measures for them, because they’re forced to (or would have to spend a LOT of money and take significant personal risk to not comply). It was worth it for them to publicly deny the FBI’s access request to unlock iphones, like in mass shootings, etc.

They did, however, stick incredibly well to the perfectly smooth glass surface of our iPad mini, as seen in the photo above. If you’re looking for a non-adhesive solution for a tablet or laptop with a gloss bezel this is a great solution.

For instance, Call Forwarding. You can set Call Forwarding options in 2 places on Windows – in Skype for Business’ Options, and in the Call Forwarding dropdown along the bottom of the Windows client.

If you use Lync for Mac, uninstall it before installing Skype for Business. I came across one of the issues almost immediately. If you’re logged into Skype for Business with one account, but logged into Outlook with another, Skype Meeting functionality doesn’t come up in Outlook. Even when you’re logged in with the same account, you may need to use the “Online Meeting” button to add Skype Meeting URLs/dial-in numbers to a Meeting invite. When I first opened a new Meeting, I had a blank invite. I clicked the Online Meeting button, and you see the result below.
