Hi!

Great job - but it seems no integration with Office 2016 for Mac yet? When I try to add an online meeting in a new appointment, it still tells me that I have to log into Lync?

    Hi Jens.  Outlook Integration should work with Outlook version 15.27 (160928) and newer build.  

     

    If you do have the current build of Outlook Mac, please try installing SFB Mac and restart Outlook.

      Hi!

      I've got Outlook 15.28 (161025) installed. I also had the Lync client installed.

      I iuninstalled the Lync client, re-installed SFB and updated to 16.0.3640 but still the same problem.

      Now I cannot add any Skype session to an invitation. Error is "The request failed. Please try again. Make sure that you are signed in to Skype for Business (Lync)."

      Not sure if it is significant, but my account requires MFA. Since Skype is not integrated, I use an app password.

      Cheers, Jens

        Hi Jen.  Is SFB running when you tried to schedule the online meeting in Outlook?

    Try  deleting Lync and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2691870. Make sure you run Microsoft update and have Outlook 15.28 or higher. It works fine for the machiens we have it on so far as long as you have all the pieces in place. You do need to b signed in to both apps in order to schedule.

    You need the latest version of Outlook 2016.  Think it is in the "Office Insider Fast" updates.
