Improvements that the update provides

Improvement 1

Consider the following scenario:
  • Multiple users, users, such as user A, user B, and user C join a Lync meeting. 
  • User A shares its desktop or application to users B and C.
  • User C’s Lync 2013 client is disconnected from the network. User C cannot join the sharing session or drops from the session.
  • User C’s Lync 2013 client reconnects to network.
In this scenario, before user C installs the update, user C has to click the Rejoin button to view the shared content.

After user C installs the update, user C can rejoin the sharing session automatically.

Improvement 2

  • Number of times sharing started
  • Number of times control changed
