New look for Lync/Skype web pages

On February 13, 2016, users logging in to the University's Skype for Business (formerly Lync) web-based tools, such as web scheduler, meeting join pages, pin reset pages, etc., noticed a new look that reflects Microsoft's new Skype for Business branding.

Subsequently over the course of several nights, February 15-20, 2016 between 7:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m. the next day, groups of users were gradually moved from Lync 2013 servers to Skype for Business 2015 servers. During the moves, users' phones and Lync/Skype for Business clients briefly disconnected and reconnected immediately.

If you have questions, please contact your local help desk or the UIT Help Desk at 801-581-4000, option 1.
