Configure Skype for Business

You can make optimized audio and video calls with Skype for Business inside a virtual desktop without negatively affecting the virtual infrastructure and overloading the network.
All media processing takes place on the client machine instead of in the virtual desktop during Skype audio and video call.

VMware Horizon Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business

To use Skype for Business, you must have the VMware Horizon Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business on the client machine.
You can configure group policy settings to change the default configuration.
A Horizon administrator must install the VMware Horizon Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business on the virtual desktop during Horizon Agent installation. To install the Horizon Client for Windows, see the Using VMware Horizon Client for Windows document.
The VMware Horizon Virtualization Pack for Skype for Business contains these software modules:

Limitations

Skype for Business has the following limitations:
  • IPv6 is not supported. Only IPv4 deployments are supported.
  • Response group call and call via X (home, work, etc.) are not supported
  • Gallery view is not currently supported.
  • You cannot record calls.
  • Double-hop scenario such as Horizon Agent nested with Horizon Client is not supported.
  • Using Lync or Skype for Business client on the client machine concurrently with optimized Skype for Business client in the remote desktop is not supported.
  • The Lync 2013 client UI is not supported when connecting Skype 2015 client to a Lync 2013 server. An administrator can configure Skype client UI on the server: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/30282.switch-between-skype-for-business-and-lync-client-ui.aspx
  • In the video preview window, if you want to preview a different camera than the one listed, select the device, then close the dialog, then re-open it to preview it.
  • If you are connected to a private network when you install Skype for Business on the remote desktop, the installer adds inbound and outbound firewall rules for that network profile. When you log on to the remote desktop from a domain network and then use Skype for Business, you see a firewall exception. To fix the problem, manually add firewall exceptions for Skype for Business client in the firewall rules for all network profiles.
  • The volume control option in the remote desktop operating system does not affect the volume level of an ongoing Skype call. Use the volume control in the Skype call or use the volume control on the client machine to make volume changes.
