The Lync Online Control Panel now lets you configure the following Lync Online settings for your entire organization:
- Call and conference recording of meetings and phone calls
- Mobile phone notifications for Lync Mobile users on Lync 2010 for Windows Phone, Lync 2010 for iPhone, or Lync 2010 for iPad
- Presence privacy mode, which gives users greater control over who can see their online presence
In addition, and thanks in part to your suggestions and feedback, the Lync Online Control Panel has a new organization, and includes the ability to search, sort, and filter your list of Lync Online users.
Finally, we’ve added an important fix to resolve a previous issue. Now, when you change an Office 365 user ID, the Lync sign-in address is also updated. This means you no longer need to contact Microsoft Support to change someone’s user ID.
For details about the changes to the Lync Online Control Panel, see the online help for Enterprises or Professionals and Small Businesses.
