Join Teams work meetings from Microsoft Teams (free) and vice versa

on
Microsoft Teams (Free) users can currently join Teams for work (or school) meetings only as guests, which requires them to use a browser and results in a sub-optimal experience. The new feature rolling out will allow these users to join Teams for work (or school) meetings in one click, without being redirected to the browser or asked to fill in their name/surname. They will also be able to continue collaborating with the meeting organizer and other participants via meeting chat after the meeting.  The feature will work in the opposite way as well, so Teams for work (or school) will just as easily be able to join meetings hosted by a Teams Free user with one click.

Lync owas windows 8_1 bug

on
** 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 :)

Hello,

I tried to reproduce the problem, and if you find the solution if I saw that the problem is shown as an error on the client certificates. Although it really should not, as you mention BUG has a lot of reality.

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
