[nfbcs] Skype for Business

[Doug Lee]

In case this is ever useful to anyone: You should also be able to join SFB meetings by typing Ctrl+5 in the main SFB window to switch directly to the Meetings page, then tabbing to the meeting list, pressing DownArrow until you
find your meeting, and pressing Enter to join it. I do that for my office meetings when they are hosted in SFB. If Ctrl+5 gives you a different page, try other Ctrl+numbers in case the meanings of them adapt to the exact set of
tabs on your SFB screen.

Leslie,

I see you already received an answer from Doug Lee about JAWS scripts for
Skype for Business.  There are keyboard shortcuts and I can try to track
those down, but there may be more to Skype for Business than you need to
master depending upon how it is used.  Also, some aspects of Skype for
Business integrate into outlook, so understanding how the integration works
is also important.  In other words, you will probably manipulate Skype for
Business from within other applications, particularly Outlook.

For example, when I am going to attend a Skype for Business meeting, I get a
reminder fifteen minutes before the meeting within Outlook.  Rather than
dismissing that reminder, I leave it open because there is a "Join On-line
Meeting" in the reminder.  I could also join it from the calendar entry
itself.  I have been meaning to get Doug's scripts but have not done so yet
and still find Skype for Business pretty useable.  Getting information from
a message that was sent can be an issue, and I understand that his scripts
help with that.  Messages tend to be displayed in a list view, and you can't
easily review the message character by character as you might wish to do to
be sure you heard a phone number correctly.  

I have found Skype for Business to be picky about changing a configuration
after connecting to a meeting.  With today's equipment, plugging in a pair
of headphones doesn't just affect the jack into which they are plugged in,
they can trigger changes in sound card settings.  It is best to get situated
before one joins a meeting.  Plugging in headphones after joining a meeting
can cause one to get disconnected sometimes.  

I have been known to schedule a skype meeting and call in by phone and also
connect to my computer to get an idea of how my computer levels are set and
where to place an external microphone.  They are nice meetings because I
rarely have a disagreement.  <smile>

I have some experience with Skype for Business but I don't consider myself
an expert.  I have not, for example, experimented with sharing documents.
However, if you have questions, I'll try to be of help.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Hi:

The agency I work for has just upgraded to Office 365 and heavily uses 
Skype for Business. It seems a lot different than Lync 2010. Are there any 
scripts or keyboard commands for this application? Thanks.
