Good day, I have just finished setting up our Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub500. Creating the room and users account as per MS instructions is all done and Teams Room is logged in. I can start a new meeting and project but no meetings are showing up. At the top it says "Cannot Fetch Calendar". What are we doing wrong? Thanks.136KViews0likes46CommentsSkype for Business(On premise) MFA using thirdparty MFA provider
Hi Team, I saw Skype for business app/mobile app can be configured for MFA using Modern authentication . I read on Microsoft documentation MFA can be done using Azure AD and ADFS. Is it possible to configure it using any external IDP or federation server sitting on premise without using Azure AD(Cloud). We have vendors like Ping, IBM which supports federation server+MFA capability I request you to please provide any input you have on this type of integration. Thanks Regards, Devendra706Views0likes0CommentsSign issues after migration

How to join a meeting on Skype for Business for mac
Hi! I recently downloaded Skyke for Business for mac, when I tried to join a meeting using a link invitation sent to me, it opened the app on my mac but denied access saying I don´t have the latest update. Is it possible if I just downloaded it for the first time? Shouldn´t it be the most recent version? Please help! I´m missing out on those important meetings from work. Thank you!704Views0likes0CommentsExperiences with SRS/Logitech SmartDock
David Phillipsasked me to share out experience with the Logitech SmartDock and SRSv2 in another thread, I thought I would start a new post to collect other people's experience. We are refurbishing our head office buildings, the first floor of the first building went live 3 weeks ago, so our experience is limited at this point. This floor has about 250 desks, and now a new collection of collaboration booths, high tables, etc. For the meeting rooms we installed :- 3 x 5 person Rooms with 46" screen, SmartDock, Logitech C930E and Senheisser ML20 Speaker 1 x9 personRoom with 65" screen SmartDock and Logitech Group 2 x 14 person room with 75" screen SmartDock, Logitech Group with extension mic, extron amp and ceiling speakers 3 x 55" Surfacehubs in a variety of different settings We bought the SmartDocks separate to the Surface Pros inside them, didn't find any issue in following the instructions to create the build, and to configure the accounts in Skype Online. We manage them in Intune, but not in OMS (too expensive!). We've configured them with E1, CloudPBX, PSTN Conferencing and a UK Domestic DialPlan. They have wired connections to our direct internet connection, not through the corporate lan, they arent domain joined. Out staffs response has been great, it's a big step up from the ugly collection of speakerphones and TVs we had before. Sound clarity is great, Video and screen sharing are very good. At the moment I would say about 40% of ourmeetings are using skype, and perhaps an equal number dialing into a legacy audioconferencing provider, the balance is shifting as people discover how much clearer the audio is in Skype. Having a quality solution in every bookable space makes a huge difference, we no longer need to think much about which site a user is at when booking a meeting, just find a point where people and a room are available and let them figure out where they want to be. The Logitech Dock seems pretty good, lots of screws but we don't want something that users will take to bits. Solid feeling, very good swivel function. It would perhaps have been easier with a line out option inside the cable section. There lots of cables going in/out of the dock but our installers have done a good job of making it neat and unmovable. We understand that we've bought into a very new product butits been remarkably stable. We are aware of 3 devices that reached a point where they needed a reboot as they became unresponsive (we schedule a reboot each night), this typically seems to be related to connecting local devices to the hdmi in. We've had quite a lotof difficulty getting hdmi switch boxes working reliably on the hdmi input, we wanted to provide autoswtching betweenhdmi and mini-dp inputs. Forcing the switch to set an appropriate Edid seems to be helping, but I'm not convinced we've totally figured it right yet. Users have raised2 areas in the software that could be improved. 1. whendialing out to an external conference provider they cant then connect a laptop into the screen locally. 2. They would like to be able to cancel meetingsthat don't show up from the device, ideally we would like them to timeout likeon a meeting room system. We're now just over 3 weeks away from our second floor going live, 15 SRS and 4 Shubs. I'll update back here with any new expereinces. Looking forward to seeing what happensas the SRSv2 app updates. DM me if you want any recomendations for installers in th UK.13KViews7likes43CommentsSome users still see the old contact number from sfb contact card
Hi Guys, I recently updated User's A phone number and I noticed that some of the user's from my organization still see the old contact number when checking User A contact card in Skype for business. I've already checked the user's contact information from the admin portal, azure ad, exchange and the number is updated. We're just syncing our users from Active Directory but no on-premise exchange/skype. I just want to check if someone here knows where is this contact number from sfb contact card is based from specifically. Thanks for your help! ?885Views0likes1Comment
