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?

        I just tried again. Reboot, re-install of Skype4B, start Skype, start Outlook, new appintment, same error. Could it be because Lync was installed when I updated? Maybe I need to delete some add-in? I uninstalled Lync and deleted the relevant files. Probably need to re-install now, since I can only send Skype invitations by using OWA...
