Full-screen sharing.Īll within a nice clean typical-Mac-UI interface.īeing a Windows guy, I thought for a moment that they’d stripped out many of the options. It even has a couple new features: One-click Meeting Join. Presence status, IM, making/receiving phone calls, Meetings (Meet Now and Scheduled Skype Meetings), video calling, screen sharing…all are included. You wouldn’t expect any Skype for Business client not to have all the basics. But overall, I think our Mac customers will enjoy this client very much. There are some differences, and (as of now) a few limitations. So what do we have for our Mac friends? The new client is, I’d say, a fair and equitable companion to the Windows Skype for Business client. The Mac client version available here? It’s still Lync for Mac 2011.

The same Mac on which I’d tested the Skype Preview earlier in the year (and had several issues). But I was on vacation.)Īs soon as I saw the announcement, I grabbed a copy and one of our test Macs. It’s finally here! Microsoft has at last released the new Mac client for Skype for Business.
