SfB Persistent Chat in Office 365
It really seems strange. Having just discovered http://www.skypepreview.com I notice that for the Windows client the top 3 feature requests are all for this feature. If you add up the votes, this gets 25000 votes. The next feature on the list has 5700 votes.
And even with all these votes, there is complete radio silence from Microsoft on this feature. So either they really really do not want it, or they're planning something secret.
For me this has become a big issue since I started using Skype for Business on my phone. Now I often have to kill the app on the phone so I don't get conversations there when I am at my desktop anyway. If the conversations was available on all devices, it wouldn't be an issue.
- Jens - You need to look into enabling "Server Side Conversation History", so that they are available on any SfB client, including mobile devices.
Neeraj Jain Is that available in S4B Online? I thought that was just in the on-premise version.
Hi Jens - yes SSCH is available on Skype online, and I think is enabled in the Global client (which is the default one). I had to disable it for my users for Legal reasons using the "ClientPolicyNoSaveIMNoArchiving" policy.
