Skype/Lync

Lync helps you stay connected to the people who are important to you via instant messaging, email, audio and video calls, persistent chat rooms, and online meetings and presentations. If you've logged on to a computer from which you haven't used Lync you'll need to do 2 things:

• Start Outlook. You can type Outlook in the search window (magnifying glass at bottom left of desktop.)
• Once Outlook is up and populated with you emails you need to start MS Skype for Business 2015. Start typing Skype for Business and you'll see it pop up. Click on it and follow the prompts. You'll be asked to restart Skype once it's finished opening. Once it restarts it will always start when you log on to that computer. Note the name of the app changes to Microsoft Lync.
• See Basic Tasks in Lync from the Microsoft site for a brief overview of common tasks in Lync.
