I noticed on tech community there was an update for the Skype for Business Mac client released yesterday on 5th October. So great to see the Mac client being invested in and updated for fixes and new features. The tech community blog post is here
Sep 17, 2017 We've had some recent connection issues with SFB for Mac in the last couple weeks. SFB in our environment seems to be linked to DNS/Kerberos, so in testing, I set my computer to our network time server, and now Skype Opens and when I'm off the network prompts properly for the Exchange/Office 365 login. According to Skype, Mac users battling connection issues can repair the problem by following these steps: Quit Skype. Navigate to /Library/Application Support/Skype/ ( refers to your Home.

More details on what’s new
- Join meetings without audio
Users can choose to join meetings without joining audio. Its been around in the Windows client for a long long time and i don’t use it heavily but its a very nice feature to have to simply the way you join audio for meetings. More details below from. As with the Windows client you can set your default audio option for joining meetings or have it prompt each time. You can Join via SfB audio and video, be called on your PSTN number (Landline or Mobile) or don’t join audio.
More Details from the “What’s new in Skype for Business 2016 articles here
- Simplified sign in
Easier sign in with the client with the user name field now moved to advanced options.
- Sign in with client certificate-based authentication
SfB Mac users can now sign with certificate based authentication.
- Hide and show meeting content
Another feature that’s in the windows content that’s a nice to have is the ability to hide meeting content when someone is sharing. Option is in the more options menu and you can turn off and on content now which is nice.
- Join meetings from organizations that are not federated with your organization
Come across this a lot and another feature that helps join meetings users can now join meetings that are hosted by another organization even when federation has not been established between the two organizations. I do see this a lot where if either organisation is closed federated or hasn’t allowed the other party meeting joins in the client fail which confuse users so this is very welcome.

-->This article explains how to set up and troubleshoot Skype for Business Online delegation. This article gives you guidance for setup recommendations, best practices, and troubleshooting steps.
Guidelines and requirements
Guidelines for delegation
Setting up and getting delegation to work correctly depends on you following these guidelines:
- You must be using the Skype for Business 2015 full client with the latest updates or the Skype for Business 2016 full client.
- You must be using the Outlook 2013 client with the latest updates or the Outlook 2016 client.
- Make sure that the delegator and delegate computers have one Outlook mail profile that is the primary or the default profile. Clownfish for mac. That mail profile should contain only one account.
- Skype for Business for the delegator and the delegate should be Online users. Also, the Exchange Server mailboxes for each account must either both be Online or both be on-premises.
- Both the delegator and delegate should be using the same major version of Outlook.
- The EnableExchangeDelegateSync attribute value should be set to true in the client policy. You can verify this setting by running the Get-CSClientPolicy cmdlet in the Skype for Business Online PowerShell module.
- Both the delegator and delegate must be signed in to Skype for Business and Outlook at the same time on different workstations.
- Shared mailboxes aren't supported for Skype for Business Online delegation. This is because the shared mailbox doesn't have the sendonbehalf access control list (ACL).

Set up and verify delegation
To set up Skype for Business Online delegation, follow these steps:
For Windows clients
Kik messenger for mac. Call Forwarding tab
![Mac Mac](https://thewindowsclub-thewindowsclubco.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/skype-remote-desktop.png)
- Select Tools > Options > Call Forwarding Settings.
- Select Edit my delegate members. https://tempsocumdu.tistory.com/4.
- Select Add, select the delegate that you want to add, and then select OK.
No Call Forwarding tab
- In Outlook, select File > Account Settings > Delegate Access > Add.
- Locate and then add the name of the person who is going to be the delegate.
- Select the Calendar menu, and then select Editor (can read, create, and modify items).
For Mac clients - Lync
Skype For Business Mac Os Issues
Call Forwarding tab
- If the client doesn't have a Call Forwarding tab that has the Edit my Delegate Members link, and the delegator is located on a Mac computer, the delegator must sign in to a Windows-based computer in order to set up the delegation. This is because Mac clients can't make MAPI connections, and this is a requirement to establish Skype for Business delegation from Outlook.
Verify success
If the setup is successful, the delegate should see the You were added as a delegate for < Name> message and also that the People I Manage Calls For group is created. The delegator should see that the Delegates group is created.
Note
Delegation permissions usually appear within 30 minutes of the setup process. However, this process can take up to 24 hours to complete.
Troubleshooting
Common issues
- Issue 1 The delegate entry continues to appear in the People I Manage Calls For group after the delegator has removed the delegate from the Outlook client.
- Resolution 1 On the Skype for Business client, right-click the delegate in the Delegates group, and then select Remove from Group.
- Issue 2 After delegate access is granted through the Outlook client, neither the confirmation message nor the People I Manage Calls For group appear for the delegate.
- Resolution 2 Remove the delegation from the Outlook client, wait about 15 minutes for replication, and then add the delegate again.
Other common issues
- Delegation doesn't work if the threshold of 25 delegators and 25 delegates is exceeded.
- The Skype for Business Basic client isn't supported.NoteIf you install the Skype for Business Basic client, it will remove and break delegation.
- If the MAPI Status value isn't OK, make sure that the SIP and SMTP values match.NoteIt can take several minutes for the MAPI status to display as OK after you first start Skype for Business and Outlook.
- Creating a security group and adding delegation permissions for that security group isn't supported.
- MAPI is unavailable. See 'MAPI unavailable' error in Skype for Business 2016 client.
- The Exchange Online mailbox isn't accessible through the Skype for Business client. If this occurs, run the Outlook connectivity test to make sure that it passes.
