Plan for Meetings clients (Web App and Meetings App). 2/16/2018.
9 minutes to read. Contributors. In this article Summary: IT Professionals should review the support requirements for the Skype for Business Web App and Skype Meetings App while planning for Skype for Business Server. This article is not intended for the users of these apps. Once you've implemented Skype for Business Server, your organization's users will presumably have the Skype for Business client installed as part of the deployment process. Later on, those users may create meetings and invite users from outside the organization, and those meeting invitees may not have any version of the Skype for Business client.
When those users click the URL for the meeting invite, the lack of a client will be detected and the invitee without a Skype for Business client will be asked to download and install a lightweight, meetings-only client so they can join the meeting. Note You can't pre-install either the Skype for Business Web App or Skype Meetings App, but and users may be able to install inexpensive mobile clients they can use to attend meetings. By default, the server hosting the meeting will direct the user to download and install Skype for Business Web App to join the meeting.
The Skype for Business Web App is stored on the Front End Server and gets sent to the meeting attendee. For Skype for Business Server, Skype Meetings App is available as a replacement for Skype for Business Web App beginning with CU5, but providing the Skype Meetings App requires the additional configuration described in. If Skype Meetings App is enabled, users will download the latest version of the app from the Office 365 Content Delivery Network (CDN) rather than from your Skype for Business server. For Skype for Business Server 2019 Skype Meetings App is the only option. Skype Meetings App offers a simplified browser experience for downloading and installing the app and joining meetings, including one-click join for users of Internet Explorer. Skype Meetings App also has many improvements over theSkype for Business Web App for reliability and the meeting experience. Note As of Skype for Business Server 2015 CU5 or later, meetings held using Skype for Business Online will no longer send a clientless user the Skype for Business Web App, they will instead be sent Skype Meetings App.
As of Skype for Business Server 2015 CU5 or later, if you, clientless users will be sent Skype Meetings App instead of Skype for Business Web App. Software requirements To use the Skype for Business Web App, a user must have one of the following supported operating system and browser combinations. Note Office 365 users can use Internet Explorer 10 or later with Skype for Business. Skype Meetings App The Skype Meetings App runs as an app on computers using Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, with 32- and 64-bit Internet Explorer 11 or later installed. The app also runs on macOS 10.10 or later operating systems with no specific browser dependency. For any other dependencies, refer to Hardware requirements Computer hardware requirements are determined by the operating system and browser. Voice and telephony features require a microphone and speakers, headset with microphone, or equivalent device compatible with the computer.
Video features require a video device compatible with the computer. For detailed information about video hardware support and expected video quality, see. Network requirements If a user of Skype for Business Web App or Skype Meetings App experiences meeting connection issues, chances are their organization's network infrastructure is not configured to support Office 365 as described in. This is the case whether the meeting was created by a user of Skype for Business Online or Skype for Business Server. If the user is on a network not configured as described, many app features may or may not work and they may not be able to connect to the meeting at all. Supported Meetings features This table compares the Meetings features available to users of the Skype for Business client, Skype for Business Web App, Skype Meetings App, and Lync Web App. Lync Web App is listed for feature comparison purposes: a user would only be downloading and using Lync Web App if the meeting was hosted on a Lync 2013 server.
How to create a meeting using scheduling assistant in Office 365 online platform - 2011 Microsoft Outlook's Scheduling Assistant is a tool which allows you to invite groups of people to meetings or events without having to email them individually. You may complete a new meeting request which Outlook emails to the desired recipients in the form of an invitation. When the invitation is sent, a tentative appointment will appear on the invitees' calendars. Potential attendees can then accept or reject the invitation.
