Lync what is new

Or, in the Lync main window, click the Meetings icon, and join from the Meetings view. For details, see Lync Web App later in this section. Depending on the type of meeting, if you schedule the meeting by using Outlook, you can now decide if you want to disable IM, mute the audience, and allow or block video sharing when scheduling the meeting. These options are available on the Meeting Options page and are recommended when you have a meeting with more than 20 participants.

For more information, see Lync Web Scheduler. Easy-to-use audio controls in the meeting room allow you to mute and unmute yourself, change your audio devices, and even transfer seamlessly to another number, if call-transfer is enabled for your account.

If you have PowerPoint, you can now upload presentations that contain video clips. Simply upload the PowerPoint file and point the mouse over the slide to unhide the video controls to play, pause, or adjust the audio. As the presenter of the meeting, you can use No Meeting IM to disable IM to help people stay focused on the meeting contact.

You can also allow or block sending videos. No Attendee Video lets you restrict video sharing to presenters only. This option is helpful when you have a large meeting and need to limit access to presenters only. Click Everyone an Attendee to instantly change all other presenters to attendees.

Depending on your meeting type, you can select a specific view of content, presenter, or meeting participants by using the Pick a layout button.

Content View shows only the meeting content. When you record a meeting, the recording is automatically saved in a format MP4 that plays in Windows Media Player. You can post the recording to a shared location for others to view.

OneNote provides new ways to collaborate during a meeting. If you have OneNote, you can use shared notebooks and co-edit with meeting participants in real time during a meeting, or take notes for your personal use after the meeting.

OneNote Share simplifies communication and follow-up while reducing errors caused by later transcription. So what is Microsoft Lync? Right now it is a vast improvement over its previous version, Microsoft Office Communicator. Lync is a unified experience across all communications including instant messaging, mobile devices, phone, rich audio, high-definition video and conferencing.

Communicating within oft-used applications is a new addition, and the ability to make connections with the new rich presence features is impressive. The complete enterprise voice features are equally impressive. The ability for businesses to be able to work and communicate from anywhere in the world, with ease and familiarity, is the end game.
