Last month at Lync Conference we showed our Lync 2013 mobile clients and shared that the apps for Windows Phone and iOS would be available in March. Today, I’m excited to share that the Windows Phone app is available today and that the app for iPhone and iPad has been submitted and should be available this week. Lync 2013 Mobile brings a number of improvements and new features. We will dive into these in depth in future blog articles, but for now here is a quick look at a couple of my favorite new features.
VoIP & Video
This was our number one feedback item in app stores and forums, and we listened. Now you can make and receive VoIP & video calls from all Lync 2013 Mobile apps.
Desktop & Application Share Viewing (iPad only)
Improving on the ability to view PowerPoint in meetings with Lync 2010 Mobile iPad 1.5 release, we have added desktop and application share viewing. Now when in meetings you will not miss content shared by others.
I encourage you to download and use the Windows Phone app today and the iOS apps later this week and let us know what you think!
