Microsoft Copilot is all around...

  As the debut of Microsoft 365 Copilot approaches, there are a lot of Copilot features set to be introduced across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Here are a few noteworthy additions: Microsoft has unveiled a series of innovative features in the upcoming releases of Windows 11, some of them are already released, and some are currently available in preview builds. The Windows 11 Copilot, conveniently located in the taskbar, eliminates the need to open your Edge browser. It is seamlessly integrated with Bing Enterprise Chat (BEC) and ChatGPT, making it really easy to get started on your creative journey. Included in Windows 11 is the new co-creator feature in Paint.

Lync owas windows 8_1 bug

** UPDATE **
The bug has been fixed in the following update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2837634
You might have to break the farm, and recreate it after the update.
**/UPDATE**

There is a known bug affecting windows 8.1 users when they try to present a PowerPoint presentation in any meeting. If you have installed any version of Windows 8.1 and tried it, you might have seen the all too familiar screen:


If you have tried to debug the error, you might be as frustrated as me, because there is (at least I was not able to find any) no visible error on any server or client component. Even a Fiddler trace revealed nothing but 200 OK messages.

This bug is not present in Lync Online, and I hope we'll see a bugfix for the onprem installations as well soon.

In the meantime, do as I did to correct the error. Join your meeting through the web browser, appending ?sl=2 to your meet url. At least I was able to run the presentation through my webapp.


Hope this helps, and that we see a bugfix soon :)

A SIP Stack trace revealed

"ErrorType="fatal";ServerVersion="15.0.4481.1005";ErrorMessage="Sorry, we ran into a problem displaying the presentation. Please try again."

My LYNC Client simply displayed the presentation as loading... then eventually failed

After hours of trying to debug my server I found your post which fixed my issue, thanks
