- Feb 10, 2016 Hi I have Lync 2011 for Mac on my work laptop. All settings are correct as per all the forums I have gone through. My username, password and account information is correct. The advanced options are.
- Nov 25, 2015 I want to set up Lync (Skype for Business) for Mac for two users at work. They are currently in one of our Office 365 home subscriptions (can take up to 5 users). From what I understand I will have to upgrade them to Office 365 Business Premium.
Microsoft has rebranded its unified communications client, Lync, as Skype for Business. As of January 22, 2017, if you're running Windows, you'll see the Skype for Business interface. Lync for Mac still works to access IU's UniCom service.
Both Lync for Mac and Skype for Business allow you to:
- Chat using instant messaging
- Make PC-to-PC phone calls
- Make video calls
- Share files
- Share your desktop
- See others' availability and manage the information others see about you
The capabilities of Lync are integrated with Microsoft Office applications. For more about the Windows and Mac versions, see below.
Before attempting to use either client with Indiana University's UniCom service, see Get started with UniCom/Skype for Business.

Additional resources are available at Learn how to use UniCom.
