New Skype for Business on Mac (Insider) build is available forApril 2017 with #1 requested feature

Hey everyone - normally you hear from me when we release a GA version of the Mac client. However, the asks for File Transfer during chats has been very high - I would rate this as our #1 ask at this time. So I am happy to announce that an insider fast build with the beta of file transfer is NOW available!

 

I can tell you that I am testing here internally with this build - pinging my long suffering colleagues here at Microsoft with file transfers :-)

 

Remember - Insider Fast builds are for those who are willing to test early - you can expect that you might run into bugs, etc. If that does not scare you away - you should read Richard's blog on how to get on Insider builds.

  • I just upgraded to 16.6.315 (latest insider fast version) but still didn't see this feature available.

      Me neither and this was after I tested with my partners O365 account on my personal mac at home and logged into Skype with his account. I downloaded this and thought I might get a different version. I didn't and I still couldn't see the option for attaching images to messages. What am I missing here?

        Hi,

        maybe your teneant is not enabled for that feature? You must be in Ring 0, 1 or 2, but i don't know how you can check this.

  • Hi Paul

     

    What version SFB for Mac is this on? I have downloaded version 16.6.315 is this the correct version to get this feature?

    Thanks

      I'm not Paul, but yes this is the correct version. But keep in mind that this only works for O365 users at the moment.
