I presume (and haven't checked yet) that Microsoft thinks the solution to all this is Microsoft Teams, their Slack clone for enterprises. I did that years ago and when I found it, it was a bug report already 3 years old… I don't have high hopes that this gets sorted out. So I googled their bug tracker and searched for file sending/receiving feature and I found it. The reader can respond to this rant: Open a bug report. You guessed it: Not Skype for Business on a Mac. More than two developers work on the same project, so it would be awesome if we can all join the same chat room and organize ourselves there. Thank god, I don't need to work on all the issues I'm assigned to myself. Mmmm… I guess, at least my colleagues can improve on their vocal explanation skills. At least that works… but when I want to delegate the mouse and keyboard to my colleague… ERR not supported in the Mac version. I can send emails, crappy backup included on the mail server :) Now and then a colleague and I pair program on an issue and I'll share my desktop via Skype for Business.
Okay… I can deal with that, I mentioned the exchange server. One can think that sending and receiving files is a basic, yet mandatory feature a messenger should support. Imagine you're in an office building which is not the main building where the most of your colleagues are located you've to work with. The status quo of the Mac version is awful.

At least they don't have any bigger issues in their day to day usage.īut there're a handful of developers and creatives in the company which are Mac users and there's even a Mac version of Skype for Business available (let alone that the rebranding of Lync to Skype for Business came years after they rebranded the Windows version). Most of my Windows colleagues are quite happy with it, but only a few are really fond to work with it. Since most of our colleagues have become one with their Windows PCs and Exchange servers the evaluation of the messenger market was rather short: Hello Lync – the Microsoft solution for messaging. Some years ago the company I'm with decided we need an instant messaging solution.
