Microsoft® Lync® Server 2013 Unleashed Second Edition

Tabbed Conversations

For the Lync power users who regularly have many instant messaging windows simultaneously open, the new tabbed conversations view is a welcome addition to the product. In previous versions each IM window was a standalone entity, and as users reached the four-to-five-concurrent-conversations level, it became a desktop management annoyance to keep track of each conversation. Lync 2013 introduces a tabbed view, shown in Figure 2.4, in which a single window holds all conversations and users can click between different conversations tabs within the window. This feature is not enabled by default, but users can turn it on through their personal options.
