New Skype for Business on Mac Insider build available (16.13.168)
Hello, Tasman:
Support for VbSS will be coming to SfB server 2015 customers in our next cumulative update, planned for Q2, 2018. When VbSS is available, you should see a significant improvement in performance for screen sharing, although do note that VbSS does require higher bandwidth, so customers can experience issues initially if their network capacity is not tuned for that. I can pass on your request for QoS support for screen sharing to the teams that own that support. For assistance with your performance issues, I would recommend working through Microsoft support for that.
Phil.
Thanks Phillip - that's really helpful.
QoS for screen sharing is pretty important for us. International network links are expensive, so they tend to be more contended than national links. Be able to put desktop sharing traffic at a similar or higher priority than video traffic on our international and inter-city links will likely be necessary to get good desktop sharing performance.
How would I check whether my request for QoS on desktop sharing for SfB Mac has been accepted/scheduled/ETA/completed? That way, I'll know whether to hang on for QoS implementation, or bite the bullet, and build a Windows 10 VM to run SfB Windows.
Again, thanks for your help. It's really great to know VbSS is coming calendar Q2.
