We now have a much more “Lync” looking toast going on, with the user’s name and title listed, number they called on and a preview of the IM. Incoming call/IM notificationįirstly, the incoming call/IM toast looks totally different. What isn’t new? This client looks almost completely different to the old Communicator for Mac second class citizen. It feels A LOT more like the Lync client on Windows. I’ve downloaded and installed it on my MacBook Air running OSX Lion and can now provide a first look at the new Lync client experience for Mac. Today, Lync for Mac 2011 became available through Microsoft Volume Licensing and thus generally available to most. Two weeks ago I announced that the Lync for Mac 2011 client was coming and got super excited.
