Microsoft® Lync® Server 2013 Unleashed Second Edition

Web Conferencing

Lync Server gives users the ability to create or join virtual meetings referred to as web conferences, including attendees from inside the organization or guest users without an account in the Communications Server environment. Lync Server 2012 adds additional features to the Web Conferencing Web Client such as voice and video over IP from the browser. These capabilities are discussed in depth in Chapter 26, “Browser Client.” Overall, many of the same features from the previous release exist, and some additional capabilities have been added. These new capabilities are discussed in Chapter 2, “What’s New in Microsoft Lync Server 2013,” and throughout Part IX, “Clients.”
