Get an invite to a Microsoft meeting? Are they using the new Lync interface? And, you don’t have a paid Office365 account do you? So, you click the link, figure it’ll open a web browser and off you go, right?
Wrong.
Instead it opens up a Lync app that you installed with Office, or the one that comes with Windows 8. And then you’re stuck. You can’t log in if your office doesn’t have a Lync server (office?).
Thankfully, there’s a simple solution. Many thanks to Michael Wood. You just add a string to the end of the URL and you’re off to the web app. I couldn’t find this anywhere, so I figured I’d share with those who might need the help. Just add ‘?sl=1’ to the end of the URL.
Yay!
This one actually bit me the other way around. IE will try to open the Lync app, but Chrome does not. I use Chrome so when I click the link it wants to use the web app, but I don’t want that. I have to copy/paste the link into IE to get it to use my local Lync app. So another work around could be to simply use another default browser.
Interesting. And good to know. I missed a couple of meetings trying to wrestle this silly thing to the ground. That little fix helped me out yesterday, so I did a quick post just to share.
