Microsoft Lync 2013 Mac Download
Topic Last Modified: 2016-02-25
This section summarizes software support for Lync 2013 and the Online Meeting Add-in for Lync 2013.
2020-3-19 From what I read at this link, Lync should be available to the public. However, it says you need Lync Server which comes with 'Office 365'. We already have the business version of Office 2011 for Mac, where do I get lync and why isn't there a download link for Lync? Seriously confusing. Install Microsoft Lync 2011 on Mac OSX; Install Microsoft IntelliType on Mac OSX; Install Microsoft Office on Mac OSX; Install Microsoft Azure SDK on Mac OSX; Install Microsoft IntelliPoint on Mac OSX; Install dict.cc English-German dictionary plugin on Mac OSX; Install CocoaDeveloper Quicklook Plugin on Mac OSX; Install Invisor QuickLook Plug. At the Microsoft download center, choose Download to download the Lync for Mac 2011 update program onto your Mac. The lync14.dmg file is downloaded onto your computer. This is the Lync for Mac 11 update. After the programs are finished downloading.
Note
The Online Meeting Add-in for Lync 2013, which supports meeting management from within the Outlook messaging and collaboration client, installs automatically with Lync 2013.

Using Mandatory Profiles
If users are planning to use Lync 2013 conferencing features, they should not use Active Directory Domain Services mandatory profiles to sign in to the Lync 2013 client. Because mandatory profiles are read-only user profiles, the public key infrastructure (PKI) keys that are required for Lync 2013 conferencing cannot be saved to the profile. For details, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 2552221, “Lync 2010 conferencing feature fails when the user is signed in using a mandatory user profile,” at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=3052&kbid=2552221.

With Lync Web Scheduler, users can create new meetings, modify existing meetings, and send invitations using their preferred email program.
Lync Web App
Lync Web App is the web-based conferencing client for Lync Server 2013 meetings. In this release, the addition of computer audio and video to Lync Web App provides a complete in-meeting experience for anyone who does not have a Lync client installed locally. Meeting participants have access to all collaboration and sharing features and presenter meeting controls.
If Lync 2013 is not installed on a user’s computer and the user clicks a meeting link in a meeting request, Lync Web App opens. You can also configure the Meeting Join page to allow users to join meetings by using previous versions of clients; see Configuring the meeting join page in Lync Server 2013 in the Deployment documentation.
Because of the enhancements to Lync Web App, an updated version of Microsoft Lync 2010 Attendee is not available for Lync Server 2013. Lync Web App is the client of choice for participants outside your organization. With Lync Web App, no local client installation is required, although audio, video, and sharing features require installation of a plug-in during first use.
