Its been around in the Windows client for a long long time and i don’t use it heavily but its a very nice feature to have to simply the way you join audio for meetings. More details below from. As with the Windows client you can set your default audio option for joining meetings or have it prompt each time. You can Join via SfB audio and video, be called on your PSTN number (Landline or Mobile) or don’t join audio.
More Details from the “What’s new in Skype for Business 2016 articles here
Easier sign in with the client with the user name field now moved to advanced options.
SfB Mac users can now sign with certificate based authentication.
Another feature that’s in the windows content that’s a nice to have is the ability to hide meeting content when someone is sharing. Option is in the more options menu and you can turn off and on content now which is nice.
Come across this a lot and another feature that helps join meetings users can now join meetings that are hosted by another organization even when federation has not been established between the two organizations. I do see this a lot where if either organisation is closed federated or hasn’t allowed the other party meeting joins in the client fail which confuse users so this is very welcome.
