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.

1 On Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, the plug-in required to use computer-based audio, video, application viewing, application sharing, desktop viewing, and desktop sharing can be installed only if you’re running Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11 for the desktop. These features are not available with non-desktop versions of Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11.

2 On supported Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Macintosh operating systems, all features are available including computer-based voice, video, application viewing, application sharing, desktop viewing, and desktop sharing. To use these features, you must install a plug-in when prompted. Note that Mac OS X version 10.6 is no longer supported.

3 On supported Windows Server 2008 operating systems, computer-based voice and video are not available. Application viewing, application sharing, desktop viewing, and desktop sharing are available.

4 The plug-in requires support for NPAPI in the browser. Firefox removed support for NPAPI in version 52.0, and Chrome removed support in version 45, so these browsers are no longer supported in their current versions.

Hardware Requirements

Computer hardware requirements are determined by the operating system and browser. Voice and telephony features require a microphone and speakers, headset with microphone, or equivalent device compatible with the computer. Video features require a video device compatible with the computer. For detailed information about video hardware support and expected video quality, see Lync client video requirements for Lync Server 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.
