Important Update about Microsoft Office Live Meeting
If your company is using Office Live Meeting, we have some important news to share with you. We’ve been working hard to get Skype for Business and Skype Meeting Broadcast ready with new conversation and meeting features, so we’re inviting you to begin the migration from Live Meeting to Skype for Business. We encourage you to begin the move from Live Meeting to Skype for Business as quickly as possible, completing the migration no later than December 31, 2017, at which time the existing Live Meeting service will be fully shut down.
Skype for Business add-in for Outlook
In our environment we randomly have an issue where the Outlook addin for Skype for Business gets disabled. I happended a few time when we had to Outlook 2013, the only resolution we had was to update the client to 2016 and it seemed to settle down. Now as of this week we have clients who are having the problem again in 2016. Has anyone ever experienced this?Is there anyway to turn off the mute announcement in Skype for Business?
Specifically, the announcement of "Mute Off" when you want to talk during a conference call. The volume and duration can make you miss discussion or an opportunity to insert yourself. If we want to encourage people to go on mute to avoid background noise, we ought to eliminate this announcement all together.SfB drops connection every 37 seconds
We had a sporadic problem where Skype for Business online meetings on our conference room PCs would drop every 37 seconds. After months of pulling my hair out, I had a stroke of luck and diagnosed it. It's a 100% reproducible bug, but the Microsoft support person didn't appear willing to escalate it to the product team; instead, he started trying to get me to downgrade to earlier versions of Windows and Office. I wasn't interested in that and dropped the ticket. The service request # was [REG:116012813643029] SRXCAP:616010793477988ID I want to make sure the product team is aware of the issue so it can be fixed. Can someone confirm whether it's an acknowledged bug? Summary of the issue: Non-domain joined Windows 10 box with Office 365. Multiple local accounts in Windows. Each local account is configured with their Office 365 credentials. If more than one user is signed in (to Windows and to Skype for Business), then the currently active user's SfB sessions will drop every 37 seconds. Logging out of the other user's account fixes the problem. Feel free to contact me for more detail if needed.Skype Room Systems v2: known perf issue for Surface Pro (2017)-based devices
