When are we finally able AGAIN (because that one worked like a charm with Lync 2011 for macOS) to perform a "screen sharing" with Windows and NOT have to switch/open/join a dedicated meeting. That is most annoying part of my day to day experience.

Sascha Schmatz - screen sharing is available now in 16.2.111 (fast release). I've been able to desktop share with Windows and Mac clients in some very early testing.

    BTW: My SfB account is in O365 and I also do have the conferencing features. On my macOS Sierra it happens quite often when generating in Outlook a "scheduled meeting invite incl. SfB" that the "PSTN dial-in numbers" are missing. Those PSTN numbers are simply not shoing up.
    
    I always have to reboot my mac to fix the issue. It does not help to just close Outlook and SfB, ensure SfB is started first and then start Outlook. Only after a reboot and in the mentioned order is works for 1 days, but next day it fails again and I have to reboot once more. Overnight my mac is only "sleeping" - just like me :-)
    
    I had the feeling that 1-2 versions prior the situatation was "more stable", because I have this issue now already quite a while.

  Good to know. :-) Finally. :-)
  Would be nice to get some release notes (or post here in the forum) on what has changed etc. Might also give us some more focus on what to test and provide better feedback.
