Skype for Bunsiness Mac Client

Hello All

 

I have just deployed Skype for Business to my organisation who mostly use windows PC. We have recently been asked if it is possible to deploy Apple Macs so i have been working on them to figure out all the challenges to intergrating them into out environment. At the moment i am using the Microsoft Lync Client to log into Skype for Business. Can i get hold of the Preview copy please?

 

Thanks

 

Matt

    Connections to the calendar are not working. There is no autodiscovery or setting to put the link to the mail server for the connection. Or is there another setting that I am missing?

        Hi there,

         

        As noted above, we have closed the program given that we are so close to release (announced for October). Please stand by - we are only a few weeks away :-)

        Hi Matt,

         

        Thanks for your interest in the Mac Preview Program! As you can guess, this is an incredibly popular program. On account of this, we've had to stop admitting people into the program for this phase, but we will look to open it up again in the future.

         

        Keep an eye out on www.skypepreview.com and this community for when we re-open the validation.

         

        If you are at Ignite this year, the Mac Preview PM (Rich Schwendiman) will be presenting, so I encourage you to check out his presentation and ask any questions that you may have about the Mac program.

         

        Thanks!
