-
It is a new feature rolled out with Microsoft Teams recently.
If you are having an active Video session, blur out your background will give you a new Video call experience. Important feature if you for example are in your home office, or having a whiteboard with confidential data, you might want hiding those views.

You can blur and un-blur the background if you follow this instructions.

Start your Video Call:

 Click the "..." 3 dots and click on "Blur my background"

Your video will now show the background blur:

 if your opposite site does so too, you will see the focus on the "person" only

In case you need to un-blur the backgroup, click the "..." dots again and click "Don't blur background"

Lync Edge Server FQDN and IP PORTS (Version 1.2, Update 26.11.2014) As we all know, we can configure Lync Edge Server in several way. 1) Single Edge Server with a SINGLE IP ADDRESS 2) Single Edge Server with MULTIPLE IP ADDRESSES (3x IPs) 3) Multiple Edge Server in a Pool, with MULTIPLE IP ADDRESSES (Zx 3 IPs) Regardless what we are going to configure, there are common / well-known TCP Port necessary making Lync work, which are: Access: Port: 443 and 5061 Conferencing: Port: 443 and (444) AV: Port: 443 (I have not listed other ports, e.g. STUN or the dynamic port range. This is not required for the topic discussed here) External FQDN with single IP address: What can we see here? If we are going to choose a single IP address, we would have TCP Port overlapping. Therefore the only way avoiding this is assigning other ports. Additionally we will also see and are reminded that Lync highly depends on DNS. If we have single IP, we must have use single, unique FQDN fo

Hi all, (This is an updated version 2.2: 09 .07.201 5 ) This blog entry is valid for Lync 2010, Lync 2013 and Skype for Business Server. Generally, I'll write a new blog article, since the conversion history over multiple device and other service have change with Skype for Business 2015 Server. Once this written, I post the link here. there is always confusion in how Lync is crawling Exchange Web Services (EWS). Generally it is necessary to understand how DNS must be implemented: Just remember, identify if you have DNS Split configuration, different internal and external DNS names and what are your SMTP and SIP Domains. Very often you find in Lync/ Exchange deployments an issue, where the Lync configuration show up with empty: EWS Internal URL EWS External URL and EWS Information = EWS not deployed Therefor Exchange Web Service are not connected deployed and several Lync Integration Features are not working, e.g. Presence Information based on your Outlook Calendar.
