Microsoft LyncTM How‐to Guide
Microsoft LyncTM ushers in a new connected experience transforming every communication into an
interaction that is more collaborative, engaging and accessible from nearly anywhere with an Internet
connection. A single interface unites voice, IM, audio‐, video‐, and web‐conferencing into a richer, more
contextual offering and a single identity makes it easier and more efficient for users to find contacts,
check their availability and connect with them. Lync works consistently with Microsoft Office, enriching
the experience of familiar applications like Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word, Microsoft SharePoint,
and more.
Get More Done in Less Time
The powerful collaboration tools in Microsoft Lync help you get more done in less time, so you can be
present where and when you need to be most.
Contacts
Microsoft Lync makes it easy to keep all your contacts in one place, so you can communicate more
easily. Contacts can be sorted by groups, presence status, and relationship.
Find a person
To find a person, type the person’s name, e‐mail address, or phone number in the Search Dialog
Box. As you type, Search results will appear. Search results are shown by Name and by Skill.
Skill Search
To search by skill, begin by entering your
keywords in the Search Dialog Box. This will
default to a name search, so click on skill to
bring up those in your organization who
meet your criteria.
View contact card
To view the contact card, right click on the
contact’s name and select View Contact
Card, or click Alt+Enter for a contact you
have highlighted.
Alternatively, you can hover by holding
your mouse over a contact to pull up the
contact card.
Add contact
Type a person’s name, e‐mail address or
phone number in the Search Dialog Box. In
the search results, highlight their name, and
then select the plus symbol.
Presence
Microsoft Lync helps you stay connected, but it also gives you the flexibility to choose when and how
you can be contacted.
Understanding Presence
Lync provides an immediate, visual representation of a contact’s availability, or presence. By simply
looking at the contact list, you can find everything you need at a glance. For example, a green icon
means a contact is available, red means a contact is busy, and yellow indicates that a contact is Away
from the computer. Wherever a contact's name appears—in an e‐mail message or on a team site—
status and contact information also is displayed. Presence information can be set by the contact
manually, or selected based on available calendar information. Presence states set by the user or Lync
Server 2010:
Status Text Description
Available The contact is online and is available to participate in conversations.
Busy
In a Call
In a Conference
In a Meeting
The contact is online but is engaged in another activity. Activities include:
In a Call: The contact is in a voice or video conversation.
In a Conference: The contact is in a multiparty conversation using
phone, voice, video, and/or application sharing.
In a Meeting: The Outlook calendar shows that the contact has a
scheduled meeting.
Do Not Disturb The contact is online but does not want to be interrupted. Users can specify
the level of privacy in Do Not Disturb mode by choosing options that enable
no display alerts to options that allow alerts from a specified workgroup. In
this state, a contact can initiate IM conversations but cannot receive incoming
messages unless part of a thread they began. You can reply until the contact
has closed current conversation window.
Appear Away The contact is online but not available for one of the following reasons:
The contact’s computer has been idle for longer than a time period
that is specified by the user (by default, 15 minutes).
The contact’s Outlook calendar or Out of Office Assistant indicates
that he or she is out of the office.
The contact is temporarily unavailable.
The contact has manually set his or her presence status to Away or
Appear Away.
Off Work The contact is not at work; however the contact can still send and receive IM
conversations.
Be Right Back The contact is online but not available; however the contact can still send and
receive IM
Offline The contact is not online. This status is displayed for the following reasons:
The contact has not signed in.
The contact has blocked the user from seeing his or her presence
status.
Presence
unknown
Lync Server 2010 cannot determine the status of the contact.
Blocked The user has blocked the corresponding contact. To the blocked contact the
user appears to be offline.
Changing your Presence Status
Changing your presence status helps coworkers know when you are and aren’t available. Presence is
enhanced in Lync with pictures, location information, and additional states such as “Off Work” to
provide more granular information about availability and communication preferences.
To change your Presence status, click on
the drop‐down arrow next to your current
status (directly below your name), and
select the appropriate Presence state:
Available, Busy, Do Not Disturb, Be Right
Back, Off Work, or Appear Away.
Instant Messaging
Starting an instant messaging (IM) session is as simple as double‐clicking a contact name from your
Contact List. This opens the Conversation window where you enter your IM and view responses from
others.
To start an instant messaging session with a single
contact
In the Contact List, double‐click a contact
name, type a message, and then press
ENTER. If the contact is not in the Contact
List, type the person’s name in the Search
box, and then double‐click the name in the
Search Results box.
To start an instant messaging session with a group,
do one of the following:
To send an instant message to a
distribution group or contact group, right‐
click a group name, click Send an Instant
Message, type a message and then press
ENTER.
To send an instant message to multiple
contacts, hold the CTRL key to select the
contacts, right‐click the last contact, and
then click Send an Instant Message, type a
message and then press ENTER.
Start an Instant Message conversation
with one contact, then drag and drop
additional contacts directly into the chat
window. This joins all contacts to the
conversation.
Use Etiquette in Instant Messaging
Instant Messaging (IM) is less intrusive than a phone call and often quicker than email. Its very nature is
conversational and similar to face‐to‐face discussions. There are a few general etiquette rules you
should keep in mind when communicating via IM.
Before sending an IM, check the person’s presence status. This will help you decide if and when
it’s appropriate to connect:
Available: go ahead and initiate a conversation as you your contact is willing and available.
Busy: refrain from sending a message unless it’s urgent.
In a Call: your contact may be slow to respond or may not respond at all. This will vary by
person and by the nature of the call.
Do Not Disturb: messages cannot be sent and are blocked by the system.
When initiating an IM, it’s a good practice to ask if the other person if they have time to chat
with you (e.g., “Got a moment to discuss the Contoso account?”). This isn’t always necessary
with someone you know well, but use your judgment.
Sometimes a person may or may not respond immediately. Avoid sending multiple messages
and wait for a response to your initial IM unless it is urgent.
If you receive a terse response (e.g., "in a meeting ‐ talk later"), don’t be offended. They’re just
letting you know they're unavailable at the time.
Depending on your company’s policy IM conversations may be monitored or saved. Always
consider the tone and content of your messages.
If you’re in a meeting, call, or Web conference, turn off the sound on your IM to ensure you
won’t be disturbing to others in the meeting. To turn off sound for incoming alerts, from the
menu bar click Options > Alerts and then under Ringtones and Sounds, select Suspend Sounds
when my status is Busy.
Don’t invite someone to join a multiparty IM session in progress without first asking everyone in
the session if it’s OK.
Avoid having too many “goodbyes” as you and your colleague attempt to end the conversation.
Ask before elevating an IM conversation to a call, video chat, or conference. They may only have
time for a quick note and not for a full conversation.
Be at the Center of Your Network
Microsoft Lync helps connect with your network of friends, colleagues and partners so you can stay in
touch. It enables you to communicate with contacts from federated networks, including Windows Live,
AOL, and Yahoo! And picture‐enhanced presence information, automatic contacts lists, and activity
feeds let you add your personal touch.
Add contacts from federated networks
Type the email address of your contact into the search bar. In the search results, highlight your
contact then select Add to Contacts.
Use Etiquette in Managing Contacts
You don’t need permission to add someone to your Contact List; however, by default, the
person you add to your Contact List receives an alert that you have added them. To add a
contact, type the person’s name in the Search box, and then drag the name from Search results
into a group (other than Recent Contacts) in your Contact List.
If someone adds you to their Contact List, you are not obligated to add them to your contact list.
You can gently decline by checking the button and clicking OK.
Use Status Message
Status messages give you an opportunity to quickly share more information with your contacts beyond
your Presence.
Lync displays a status message
automatically for you based on your Out
of Office message. Keeping this updated
will help coworkers know where you are
and how to reach you.
You can manually enter a status message
into the Note Box to augment your Out of
Office message or provide more details
when you are in the office. To do so,
simply type your message into the dialog
box above your name in the Lync client.
To view status messages from your
contacts, click on the Activity Feeds icon.
This brings up a list of recent status
messages.
Use Emoticons in social messages
Using emoticons— graphical representations of facial expressions —in your messages can help provide
context around the meaning behind the written words.
To add an emoticon to an IM: in the Conversation window of the message area, place the cursor
where you want to insert the emoticon. Click the Emoticon button, and then select an emoticon.
Work from anywhere*, virtually
With Microsoft Lync, you can be connected to the office from the road, home, your favorite coffee shop,
or nearly anywhere with an Internet connection.

Conferencing Options
Microsoft Lync offers robust conferencing options, including IM, audio‐, video‐, and web‐conferences
giving you many collaboration tools to be more successful. Lync is all you need for all types of meetings,
both scheduled and spontaneous. And simple “water‐cooler” IM conversations can be escalated to an
audio conference with desktop sharing among members instantly, easily, and without interrupting the
conversation flow.
