Important Lync for Mac 2011 update for meeting join issues

  • Article

This week we see a really important update for companies using Lync for Mac 2011. A big thanks goes to 2 customers in our Lync Online Dedicated environment that persevered and pressed through the analysis as the behavior had an odd pattern. Customers would comment they could join 1 or 2 meetings and then by the 3rd meeting there would be a problem connecting with all modalities. Customers would workaround by dialing in to the Lync bridge number, join via the Lync Web App, even use a Windows virtual machine on the Mac and sometimes a hard reboot. None of these are desired over the long term.
