Skype for Business add-in for Outlook
In our environment we randomly have an issue where the Outlook addin for Skype for Business gets disabled. I happended a few time when we had to Outlook 2013, the only resolution we had was to update the client to 2016 and it seemed to settle down. Now as of this week we have clients who are having the problem again in 2016. Has anyone ever experienced this?SfB drops connection every 37 seconds
We had a sporadic problem where Skype for Business online meetings on our conference room PCs would drop every 37 seconds. After months of pulling my hair out, I had a stroke of luck and diagnosed it. It's a 100% reproducible bug, but the Microsoft support person didn't appear willing to escalate it to the product team; instead, he started trying to get me to downgrade to earlier versions of Windows and Office. I wasn't interested in that and dropped the ticket. The service request # was [REG:116012813643029] SRXCAP:616010793477988ID I want to make sure the product team is aware of the issue so it can be fixed. Can someone confirm whether it's an acknowledged bug? Summary of the issue: Non-domain joined Windows 10 box with Office 365. Multiple local accounts in Windows. Each local account is configured with their Office 365 credentials. If more than one user is signed in (to Windows and to Skype for Business), then the currently active user's SfB sessions will drop every 37 seconds. Logging out of the other user's account fixes the problem. Feel free to contact me for more detail if needed.
SfB not generating Conference ID for meeting
We have several users reporting that when they attempt to create a SfB online meeting, their invites are not including the dial-in conference numbers and are only populated with the meet URL. This is with build 3639 of SfB and 15.28 of Outlook. Any suggestions? I believe there was a newer Outlook build but checking for updates repeatedly never detects any updates.Screen sharing lag
We have been using S4B for almost year and we have always been frustrated by a lag in screen sharing transitions. We see it a lot of problems with power point desktop sharing where it can take 30 seconds for a slide to change We use Skype for Business online We are sharing the desktop to presentSkype Broadcast branding and custom "curtains" before & after broadcasting?
Hi all! When SFB Broadcasting was presented during the MS Ignite 2015 (Session BRK3198), we were all shown nice branding capabilitles and the possibility to add start/close curtains. Since this was in the roadmap at that time, it would be nice to hear an update on these settings. It is highly requested by our customers. / MSkype Room Systems v2 - first impressions
So we just installed a Skype Room Systems v2 (Logitech Group) in our largest conference room. Here are our first impressions when it comes to the software. We have Exchange 2016 on-premise and SfB Online in O365. There's one issue with dialing a number when you don't have PSTN Calling in your region. Maybe this is by design or maybe I just got it wrong (here's my discussion on that) You should disable the Surface Pro 4 built-in front and rear camera because otherwise when you choose to start the video, you have three cameras to choose from. It's not mentioned in the Deployment Guide but we figured it out they are in the Device Manager -> System Devices. Speaking of this, you shouldn't need to choose a camera at all if there's only one (1) camera - just default to that camera. We have a huge 100"+ projector screen in this conference room and when a single attendent call in with video, that person gets a full screen with their huge face. I don't know how we would technically solve this (I guess 2 * 55" is a better setup) but it feels like Big Brother ;). If a presenter in the room connects their laptop via HDMI and start something with a video (like Youtube) the sound outputs into the conference room and the sound is only catched up by the rooms speaker's which gives quite bad results. It should be able to get the sound from the HDMI input but then again, the deployment guide clearly states that "Audio playback over HDMI can only be heard locally" so maybe it's some technical reason why this is not possible. The DIY setup might be a little bit overly complicated selecting the correct inputs/outputs etc. Since the SRS application only works on "certified" versions, it should be possible for Microsoft to automate this and verify the settings remain the same after updates etc. But they have mentioned automated deployment scripts are coming. The dock (Surface Pro 4) screen is quite sensitive to fat fingerprints so after a while you need to clean it but maybe someone has some magical solution for that :) I hope the OMS management/monitoring solution will be available soon so we effectively can monitor the SRS so we can be proactive because users in general don't create a support ticket for conference room systems, they just give up :) Then there are some minor Logitech hardware first impressions but that's not related to Microsoft.
