Day3/Wednesday
Useless Trivia: Q. Who wrote the Microsoft Lync 2010 Attendant console (now out of mainstream support) software? A. In a meeting with one of our European Attendant Pro partners who has been supporting Skype for Business since LCS days noted that the original Microsoft Lync 2010 Attendant console was written by a company called Media-Stream.com AG. The Microsoft Lync 2010 Attendant does not work with Office 365.

Day 2/Tuesday
I took a quick look at the Logitech c925e with Logitech's Scott Kushel
A couple differences from the c930.
- 78 degrees lens (instead of 90)
- Built in security cover
- Approx. $30 lower cost than the c930
- Not a Carl Zeiss lens

What Exactly Is “Free Skype Meetings”?
Microsoft just introduced “Free Skype Meetings” but what exactly is it?
If you were thinking quick, adhoc meetings with any email address you might need to change some expectations. You do need what Microsoft calls a “business email address” AND you cannot already have an Office365 account previously associated with this email address.
So the prerequisites:
- No Office 365 currently (only those organizations who don’t already have Ofice 365 can use “Free Skype Meetings”)
- A “business email address” to sign up
From my quick review this seems to be what is included & how it works:
- Skype for Business limited meeting capability
- PowerPoint & Screen Sharing
- real-time audio & video conferencing (here)
- Personalized URL to join from any device
- 3 participants
- Requires Enterprise email address (Live/Outlook/Gmail address does not work)
- Requires Office 365 account
- 3 user/participant meetings (for 1st 90 days 10 participants)
To start one get your O365 account and browse to https://go.skype.com/meetings/
If you are trying to use an exisitng Office 365 account, you will get this…
So if your organization is new to Office365, you can get some limited Skype for Business Meeting functionality as a teaser. Enjoy Skype (for Business…limited) Meetings!
