Feb 16, 2018 The Skype for Business on Mac Client is available for download. Hardware and software requirements for Skype for Business on Mac. The Skype for Business on Mac client requires Mac OS X El Capitan and higher, and uses at least 100MB of disk space. We support the use of all built-in audio and video devices. Lync Review Lync is a messenger client from Microsoft with which you can hold conversations and videoconferences with multiple members, making it a wonderful tool for virtual meetings. With this program you'll be able to put your contacts into groups and easily join video calls and conferences.
Skype 7.1 for Mac not only supports Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, but it also has better group profiles, and a couple of crash fixes. Microsoft has also updated Lync for Mac 2011 to version 14.0.10, adding support for Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemitie, media resiliency, and conversation history.
From what I read at this link, Lync should be available to the public. However, it says you need Lync Server which comes with 'Office 365'. We already have the business version of Office 2011 for Mac, where do I get lync and why isn't there a download link for Lync? Seriously confusing. Microsoft Lync for macOS is the new rich client for Lync users on the Mac platform and offers integrated functionality for instant messaging, presence, conferencing and voice. Lync for Mac is designed to work with both Lync Server 2010 and Lync Online to help you: Download Microsoft For Mac. Control communication costs; Improve user productivity.
First, if a network disconnect occurs, Lync for Mac will now automatically rejoin a meeting or reconnect a peer-to-peer call as long as network connectivity is re-established within 30 seconds.
(Try it for yourself. Setup a Lync video call on your Mac. Quickly disconnect and reconnect your network cable, or disable and re-enable your wireless connection. You’ll see the video freeze when the network drops and then restart once connection is re-established.)
Second, Lync for Mac will now maintain the media connection for peer-to-peer calls if connectivity is lost to Lync Server or Lync Online. This lets voice calls continue even when presence information is no longer available.
Lync For Mac 2011
Lync for Mac 2011 version 14.0.10 also has conversation history that is actually saved in Exchange. Perhaps the biggest advantage of this is that if a user chooses to save the history on Exchange, they can access it from different Mac computers either for work or for personal use.
