Hey Folks, It's Me!
Hi there! My name is Channing Heffney & I am a Business Program Manager within the release excellence team for customer service and support. My role is to ensure our global support teams are ready to support the next excellent features and/or product released by the Skype for Business product team. I wanted to share some information about custom policies based on questions many of you have had. Check out my recent blog posting, here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Skype-for-Business-Blog/Custom-Policies-for-Skype-for-Business-Online/ba-p/53824 If you have questions about policies in the future, I'd love to see you post them in this community.Interop SfB and standard-based sip clients
Hi everyone, i would like to know how you handle Meetings where your participant wants to connect with his "legacy" sip/h.323 vc. Do you use something like pexip and let it act as a gateway or did you use a cloud based service like Starleaf Medley. Greets JörgSetup PSTN Conferencing in Microsoft Teams
Microsoft just released Teams PSTN Conferencing service right before Microsoft Ignite. First of all, ensure that you assigned PSTN conferencing license(s) to user(s) Login to Teams Meetings > Schedule a Meeting 4. Setup a new meeting, add attendees as follow. For now, you cannot invite external users as attendees in Teams yet like you can in SFB Meeting Invite, I believe you can do that in soon future. So, if you need to invite external users, just copy the invite message and email them. Attendees received meeting invitation email as follow, Meetings > click on meeting invite and Join button. I invited two users, one user is my internal user who received the invite email, I manually copy the invitation email and send to the other user, who will join the meeting using his mobile/phone; both joined the meeting, you will see a user is using his mobile number to join and while my internal users use teams client to join. The external user called +6531570124 (Toll) number to join the PSTN conferencing. It's surprising to take note that I cannot join Teams meeting using my SFB client though I can see the invite in my SFB client's meeting calendar, when I click the meeting link, it brings me to either use web browser or use Teams client. It’s also noted that I cannot invite external users and dial telephone number -- yet.
Call Me At not working
Previously my organization relied on the call me at feature for our E3 users that did not have a headset/microphone to join meetings with. We tried to use this feature today and it no longer works. From what I am reading you now want us to purchase an E5 license for this feature. When did this change? Were notifications sent out? This was working for us less than 2 months ago. Lana O'Brien
Skype Room Systems v2 - hiding attendees and focusing on speaker
We recently replaced our legacy Polycom HDX systems throughout our organization with SRS v2 using the Logitech SmartDock in all our conference rooms. It is working well but there are a couple annoyances that I'm hoping someone else has solved: 1) The TV in the conference rooms get filled up with all the remote audio or skype caller tiles even though they are not presenting video. The impact is that the people who are using video are so small on the TV that it's hard to see them. Is there a way to hide the tiles for the callers who are not presenting video? 2) One of the features everyone misses from the Polycom solution is that the system would switch focus to whichever remote caller is currently speaking. So if someone in the room you are in is currently speaking, then the TV would show all the remote sessions as tiles, but when one of the remote sessions starts talking then their tile would be zoomed in. If we could address these 2 things, the user perception would go from "good" to "great"! Appreciate any thoughts on how to solve. thanks! Ryan
