Microsoft Lync Communication Software for Faculty and Staff
Microsoft Lync, a communication tool that integrates with other Microsoft products, is available to faculty and staff through campuswide licensing. Lync features instant messaging, voice and video calling between individuals or groups, file transfer, and desktop sharing.
Lync users can host and participate in group meetings and communicate directly from Outlook and Sharepoint. Real time user presence shows the availability of contacts and Lync displays contact photos with detailed directory information. To submit a profile photo to appear in Lync, Outlook, and other Microsoft products supporting Exchange, upload a photo using the Exchange Photo Submission form at http://askit.uark.edu/request/exchangephoto.
Faculty and staff working in departments participating in the Microsoft Campus Agreement can download Lync for Windows or Mac. All other faculty and staff can access Lync in Outlook Web App or using one of the mobile apps available from Microsoft. For licensing, download, and setup information, see the Microsoft Lync Tech Article at http://techarticles.uark.edu/lync/microsoft_lync.
