Spring is in the air, and we are excited to announce the monthly update for Skype for Business for Mac has sprung. This update is a big deal here as we have added our current #1 ask to the Skype for Business on Mac client. We celebrate every release but perhaps more so when we tackle a #1 ask.
Our former #1 new feature ask was for screensharing during chat. It was a big deal, and we were excited when that landed earlier this year. The new feature, File Sharing during chat for Office 365 users has gotten a lot of requests. We hope you enjoy it. Please note that we intend to add this feature for on-premises as well at a later date.
As always, we also have introduced improvements to how the client operates so be sure to read the release notes for more information on these improvements:
- The video preview and button for answering the call now available on the notification.
- User who receives call from Delegate on behalf of Delegator will now see the call is made on behalf of Delegator.
- Ring device settings are saved after application restarts.
- Names in contact list are sorted alphabetically.
- Users are properly informed their meeting join request has been denied when trying to join multiple times.
- Fixed additional Exchange connection issues.
For a complete list of improvements to the client, please be sure to read the release notes that come with this update. Customers can choose to download the latest client from the download center or those who already have the client can use the Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) to get the latest.
