IT professionals can request access to the new Skype for Business Mac Preview starting today. As a workaround, users can use Lync for Mac 2011 client to join Non-federated meetings. Lync Web App is the browser-based version of Lync 2010 that allows people who don’t have a Lync account and haven’t installed the Lync client to participate in Lync meetings, using either a Windows or Macintosh operating system. Download Lync for Office:mac 2011 **Mac OS X 10.7.X (Lion) Users** Microsoft recently released the Lync for Mac 14.0.1 update which is needed if you have the Lion release of Mac OS on your computer.
I’m not a Mac guy. One of our web designers is; he LOVES his Mac. And he does produce some really sharp images on it for us.
So I know that more & more companies use Macs in the office. If not for everyday computing, then at least for specialist jobs like graphics work, web development, video.
And like everyone else, Mac users will want to stay in contact with co-workers. When it came to Lync Server, this was difficult at first – Mac-based clients weren’t first priority.
But now that’s over with. Not only do we have a Lync client for the Mac, two clients for the iOS (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad) are now available. Let’s take a look, hmm?
Microsoft Lync for Mac
Starting October 1st, Microsoft will ship the official Lync client for Mac.
(Credit to Mary Jo Foley for breaking the news.)
It’s got pretty much everything Lync for PC does: IM/Presence, voice and video, conferencing, desktop sharing, you name it. I don’t have a Mac to test this on, but the interface shots mirror Lync almost exactly.
You can use Lync for Mac with Lync Server 2010 and Lync Online (the Office 365 offering).
(Microsoft’s site says that “some voice capabilities require Lync Server 2010 and are not available with Lync Online.” Doesn’t give specifics though.)
Lync for Mac will be included with Office for Mac Standard 2011, via Volume Licensing. Gotomeeting app download mac.
Xync for iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android

Xync’s website says the client supports Presence, Search, Audio/Video and PSTN Calls. The “Conferencing” link in their FAQ didn’t work, so I don’t know how much of the Conferencing role is supported yet.

Tom tested sign-in, IM, making calls and adding video. He noted one interesting caveat here: When in a video call to a Lync user, the iPad video looks fine. But the video on the Lync side doesn’t look so good. (You can see the difference in his screenshots.) Commenters also noted that the Xync client crashes on sign-in. Possibly an interface bug, or just a glitch.
Xync is available in the Android Market and the iPhone/iPad App Stores for $19.99. At its website you’ll find a FAQ, guides and how-to videos.
iDialog for iPhone
I couldn’t review Xync and ignore where Tom’s coming from, could I?
Tom works for Modality Systems, which ALSO has a Lync client for iPhone: iDialog. I mentioned it last year in my “How to Use OCS 2007 on Your Mobile” post. iDialog has since been updated for use with Lync Server as well.
The one caveat with iDialog is that it does not take Lync calls directly. From their site:
“…a user can control incoming phone calls to their OCS or Lync phone numbers. iDialog does this by alerting the user to the incoming call and providing the option to forward the call to their mobile phone, voice mail, or another device.”
However, you can reach contacts, IM, and change your presence status. The interface is nearly identical to Microsoft Lync, too.

Never let it be said that, when it comes to Lync, Microsoft ignored the Mac users! Blizzard voice client for mac. Why isnt library showing up on mac finder. In fact, I think the timetable for this release is faster than average – Microsoft doesn’t usually release a Mac software version this fast.
Maybe the third-party mobile apps have sped up timetables. Who knows. I’m glad the mobile apps exist; several good options for every mobile platform makes Lync adoption that much easier.
“If we move to Lync, can we use it on your iPhones?”
“What about my Droid?”
“What about my Droid?”
Yes. And yes.
Do you have Lync on your smartphone? What do you use?
https://gayheavy378.weebly.com/vst-synth-free-download.html. Microsoft remote desktop connection client for mac os x v10.7. As part of its Lync family -- the new and improved name for Office Communications Server starting with the 2010 release -- is getting a new Mac client.
On the Microsoft Mactopia blog on September 24, officials explained the new strategy.
Windows Live users will continue to use the dedicated Messenger for Mac client, according to the post. But Lync Server 2010 users will start using a new Communicator for Mac client. The Messenger for Mac 8 beta launched in March and added support for video calls with other Windows Live users. The Communicator client includes built-in Live Meeting functionality, Microsoft officials said earlier this year.
The explained the reason for adding a new Communicator client this way:
'One focus of Office for Mac 2011 was to integrate real-time communication features into Office applications like Word and PowerPoint and we expect that effort to continue.
'In addition to integration with Office, we need to support our two partners, Windows Live and Office Communications Server (aka Lync). Within Microsoft these are separate organizations that move quickly to add new, useful features for their respective users.

Microsoft still plans to maintain Messenger for Mac as a free download, but the team is unlikely to support non-productivity-centric features, like games or winks, according to the post. Communicator for Mac will be available to users of Lync Server and/or as part of Office 2011 for Mac. Communicator for Mac will be available to volume licensing customers only, the Softies said.

Lync Client For Mac Download
I've got questions in about the future of the Silverlight Web-based Communicator client for Lync. I'm also wondering whether Microsoft still intends to federate Windows Live Messenger in both the Windows-based Lync Communicator client and the new Mac Lync Communicator client. I'll update this post if and when I hear back.
Update (September 27): Microsoft officials say there still will be a Silverlight Web client for Lync. They also are declining to say when testers will get the Mac Communicator client for Lync.
