Learning activity details

•Communicate from anywhere with an Internet connection.
•Easily switch between IM, audio and video, or use all of them at the same time.
•Stay connected with your colleagues using real-time status updates, presence information, and quick contact search and management.
•Join Lync Meetings with a single touch, and easily switch between IM, group video, and content views.
•Take control of shared screens, apps, or PowerPoint decks in Lync Meetings.
•Stay connected while reducing resource consumption. Lync provides background and connected standby connectivity so you never miss an important conversation.
