Skype for Business - Translator
A long while back, it was announced that Skype and soon Skype for business was going to use Bing translator to enable translation real time. While the video would be nice my biggest want is just translation for the IM. We have a sister company in China and I would love to use skype for business to enable better communication. However when I tested it out internally it did not translate the Chinese. Has this been scrapped or do I need to enable it somewhere?MPOP and Auto Accept Feature for Skype for Business Application
Always there has been a lot of confusion wherein we have the users signed-in to MPOP (Multiple Point of Presence) where would the IM Messages go and where would the IM Messages be automatically accepted. So please find the below table below based on my research with Skype for Business Desktop Client and Skype for Business Mobile Device. This remains the same irrespective of the Mobile Devices. Desktop Client Mobile Client Preferred End Point Available Available Desktop Client Inactive Available Mobile Client Available Inactive Desktop Client Inactive Inactive Desktop Client Away Inactive Mobile Client Offline Inactive Mobile Client Additionally in case we are troubleshooting Lync or Skype for Business Mobile Feature issues we need to check if the Conversation History is not getting saved. We need to collect the following logging in the Skype for Business 2015 Server. The logs are as follows:- Components:- UCWA SIP Stack S4 Web Infrastructure Collaboration Level:- All Flags:- All In the MPOP Scenario from the logs we need to identify if the Invite is going to all the Mobile Device or the Desktop Client we can pull the information from the logs and differentiate using the port number. For the desktop client the Invite will always go on the Port Number 5088 and in case of MPOP the Invite gets Forked to both the desktop client and the Mobile Client as well. To confirm if the user account is logged into MPOP we can confirm the same from the above Skype for Business 2015 Server logs and we need to look for error SIP error 486 Busy Here coming from the desktop client. In case if we need to search it from the Desktop Client Logs we need to understand the same from the invite being sent to the user account during an IM Conversation . In the invite in the Via Route we would get the IP Address of the Front End Server and Term Branch with the value set as True. In case the value for Branch is True then it means that the user account is signed-in to the MPOP. Since we have the Auto Accept Feature in the Skype for Business 2015 Server and Exchange Server 2103 and above this also means that after 25 seconds the Skype for Business Application whether on Mobile Device or Desktop Client. This also means that the Push Notification Feature would not be required for Skype for Business Mobile Devices as the messages are getting auto accepted. Let’s take the most weird example: In case we have the User A signed in to both Skype for Business Desktop Client and Skype for Business Mobile Client with the latest update and the user being hosted on Skype for Business 2015 and Exchange 2013 or above. Now User B sends an IM message to User A and the user is not at his desk and also away from the Mobile Device. Now if the User B sent the IM to User A and before the IM gets Auto Accepted on the Mobile Device if the User A unlocks logs back into the Desktop system the IM Message would get accepted on the desktop client instead of the Mobile Device.
Continous Conversation / IM Roaming across devices
Why hasn't SfB provided the ability to continue conversations across multiple devices with chat/content history displayed. This seems like a no brainer and its apperently something that people have been asking for for years. https://www.skypefeedback.com/forums/299913-generally-available/suggestions/9769296-the-conversations-should-load-with-the-history-autMissing Skype calls on mobile device
When my phone is active and I have the Skype app up, I can receive calls just fine. However, if my phone has been inactive for a period, and I'm not in the Skype app, then the Skype status changes to "Away" and I miss any incoming calls. I would expect to recieve Skype calls whether I'm activly in the Skype app or not. I've remove the app/reinstalled it, and get the same result. I've also tried it on multiple phones and OS's and get the same result. Phone: iPhone 6, iPhone 6S, and Samsun Galaxy S7 Software: iOS 10, and Android 6.0.1

Appear offline in Skype for Business
Hello Community, Ever wondered if we can appear Offline in Skype for Business? Well, then you are at the right place. To enable "Appear Offline" add the below registry (create it if not present) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Lync] "EnableAppearOffline"=dword:00000001Multiple chats sessions with same contact in S4B window ?
I see multiple instances of chats with the same contact. This is really cluttering up my Skype for Business app window in both my mobile iOS and my desktop app. Example: Chat session with Joe at 10:00 for 10 minutes Chat session with Joe again at 14:00 for 15 minutes Now I see two separate chat streams with the same contact. Why isn't this singular? If I have a chat session with Joe and i do not actively remove/delete that chat session, shouldn't it just continue the next time one of us write? Is this by design? Do I need to adjust something in Skype for Business Admin on 365? I am using latest builds . iOS Version 6.11.1.310 and Mac OSX 16.2.156 Please help, this is sure to cause complaints amongst staff and I expect will introduce user acceptance numbers to drop. Especially if this is to be compard to WhatsApp, or any attempt to replace WhatsApp. Cheers pJoin us on 12/7: Skype for Business webinar

We have a number of field personnel setup with Teams/PSTN calling plans. They assumed that their PSTN number would be able to send/receive SMS text messages to interact with people outside the organization, but this doesn't seem to be the case. (Apparently RingCentral supports this?) We just had one field sales rep complain that their lead had been texting her, but she never received the text messages. Of course we don't want to share personal mobile numbers with business contacts, and having a separate PSTN number and Mobile cell #'s just to support this seems excessive and old school, but maybe that's the only solution. Are there any plans to support this type of functionality? I don't necessarily care whether it's Teams or Skype for Business client based - but the ability to interface Microsoft Phone System PSTN with SMS is what we need. I see some third party products that give you the ability to text from SfB, but they do so by assigning you a dedicated additional telephone number - clearly not the solution that would work for us. Thanks in advance! Bob
Question about Skype for Business Online Address Book
1. What AD fields is the user replicator look for to populate RTCab databases in SfB online? Are there any required fields for an account to show up in Address book web query. 2. If I need to hide certain accounts based on an AD attribute from showing up the SfB online address book for my tenant is that possible to do? 3. Is there any ABSconfig tool available to manage the SfB online address book filtering? I can't exclude these users from Azure AD sync because they use Sharepoint Online but don't use SfB so need a way to hide them from the SfB AB websearch. I opened a premiere case (REG:116110414893424) and they said it's not possible to do so but want to confirm this. This is holding up a major project for me so please Help!!
