MicrosoftHello from the Skype Business Services Conferencing team!
Hey Subramanian
Thanks for reaching out to the community. I have a question you might to be able to clarify for me.
It's regarding meeting content uploaded to a skype meeting in advance of the meeting occurance. If a presenter upload content it seems at some time between the upload and the meeting occurance the permissions of the content is changed and set to organizer. So if the organizer isn't joining the meeting it seems to every presenter in the meeting that the content is lost, but it's rather not showing up due to permission.
Would be interesting and valuable to understand the process and if that is by design or not.
Thanks.
MicrosoftHello Markus!
Interesting question, I hope I can provide some clarity but first I would like to understand the scenario a bit better.
If I understand correctly, a presenter joined the meeting prior to the date for which the meeting was scheduled and uploaded some content, like a powerpoint, and then when the meeting actually begins, the presenters are unable to view the content.
Could you please clarify for me:
1. If the steps above are accurate, especially that the presenter actually joined the meeting prior to scheduled date in order to upload content.
2. When the files were uploaded, what permission level was set on them? (Everyone can download / Presenters only)
3. How long of a time elapsed between uploading content and the meeting was held?
4. When the meeting started, the presenters were indeed connected to the meeting as presenters or did their role change as well?
5. Were the presenters able to view the files but not download? Or the files were not even visible in the attachments section?
6. If the organizer joins, is he able to access the files that were uploaded? Is that how you concluded that the files exist but permissions were skewed?
Hello
See my answers below...
1: Correct
2: Default was used so "Everyone can download"
3: I have tested different scenarios, sometimes is seems to be only a few hours and sometimes over night.
4: Same role as when meeting was scheduled.
5: Files are not showing up in the "Manage content" view for the presenter
6: Correct, organizer can see the files and also change the permission from Organizer to Presenters to make them available for the presenter.

Thanks Markus_Johansson for the clarification. The symptoms match a regression of functionality that we have investigated and a fix for this issue has been lined up for the next Cumulative Update. Stay tuned on https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3061064 !
As a temporary workaround till then (if its acceptable) could you try explicitly ending the meeting for all participants using the More Options ( ... ) button on the lower right of the meeting conversation window, after the presenters join and pre-upload the content to the meeting? That *should* ensure that the content stays around for presenters on re-joining later. Let me know if that workaround works for you.
I hope that answers your question, please stay in touch.
Great news, thanks for sharing.
I've actually seen a different behaviour with the "End the meeting" scenario as you confirm as well.
Do you know if the permission "issue" also involve other part of the meeting experience such as Q/A sections ?
