Sending email invites from the Mac client

Hi

 

Apologies if this has already been asked.

 

We've started using Skype for Business, and a few of us have installed the new Mac client.

One problem we have found is whereas inviting external users to a meeting via email is fairly straight forward on a PC, we can't find the equivalent functionality on the Mac client.

 

Is this supported yet, or are we missing something?

 

Many thanks

    I was experiencing the same issues as described here, namely the "Cannot Schedule Online Meeting
    You cannot schedule this online meeting because there might be issues with your sign in account. Make sure you are signed in to the same you use for Microsoft Outlook. If the problem continues, contact your System Administrator." error message.

     

    Once I logged in to Skype for Business and had it open while scheduling the meeting I was able to get the Skype meeting info added to the invite.

     

    Odd that the SFB app has to be running, but... at least there is a way to make it work.

      I have the same login problem when i´m on my home network I can´t login to Skype and book online meetings. But if I connect to VPN I have no problems. I think I better report this problem, to our Exchange administrator

        Today I can login to Skype/Booke online meetings from Outlook on my home network again. The problem I had yesterday,  was my two factor authentication, did´nt send me an approve request ;)

        Hi

         

        Thanks , this helps. I am also able to use a Feature on windows Laptops where the Audio Dial in Details and the confrerence code details are also available when we schedule a skype meeting on windows , the same is not getting populated in MAC

  • Hi,

    the only method i know is to create the meeting from Outlook for Mac. Create a new meeting and then choose Online Meeting from the ribbon. That should fit your needs.

     

    greets
