SKYOE FOR BUSINESS MAC UPDATE

This allows the user to see their active IM conversations in a single window (with tabs). This has been a very popular ask by many of our customers. Single Windows Mode for Lync 2013 Server users. We also have VbSS sharing on our futures roadmap and will let you know when that is enabled. If the Mac user wants to share their desktop, they will use RDP to share. If others share using VbSS, the Mac client will also use VbSS to view. In this release, we have specifically enabled viewing using VbSS. This mode of sharing performs better, supports higher frame rates, and the setup time is faster than RDP (our original approach to sharing). And now, it’s available for the Skype for Business on Mac client. Over the course of the last year we have enabled many of our clients. In September 2015, we announced VbSS and added this improved form of sharing to the Windows client.

We know there is more to do and it’s on our roadmap to further enhance this experience. The second image shows the same share from a Windows client perspective. In the first image, the Mac client has shared their desktop during an audio call. As part of our first step to get this feature enabled, we have enabled sharing during an audio call. The ability to share desktops in P2P communications has been asked for by many Mac users.

Several other improvements for the client.

Single Windows Mode for 2013 Server users.

VbSS viewing for Office 365 online users.

Audio calls now support desktop sharing.

We continue to add to the client on a regular cadence and encourage you to download the latest client when available.
