Symptoms

In Microsoft Skype for Business 2016, consider the following scenario:

  • You sign in and leave the client running for several days.
  • You may have multiple monitors, or monitors that use a very high resolution.

Cause

When sharing screen, the Skype for Business client must allocate a contiguous buffer based on the resolution of all your monitors. 32-bit applications have certain memory limitations due to their architecture. After the Skype for Business client is left running for several days, the available memory space can fragment, leaving less contiguous memory available. If there is not a contiguous block of available memory for the screen sharing, it will fail.

To fix this issue, install the September 1, 2020, update (KB4484501) for Microsoft Skype for Business 2016.
