If others share using VbSS, the Mac client will also use VbSS to view. In this release, we have specifically enabled viewing using VbSS. This mode of sharing performs better, supports higher frame rates, and the setup time is faster than RDP (our original approach to sharing).
And now, it’s available for the Skype for Business on Mac client. Over the course of the last year we have enabled many of our clients. In September 2015, we announced VbSS and added this improved form of sharing to the Windows client. We know there is more to do and it’s on our roadmap to further enhance this experience. The second image shows the same share from a Windows client perspective. In the first image, the Mac client has shared their desktop during an audio call. As part of our first step to get this feature enabled, we have enabled sharing during an audio call. The ability to share desktops in P2P communications has been asked for by many Mac users. Features like one-click join, edge-to-edge video, and full screen sharing give you a superior Skype Meetings experience.
Microsoft has released the second update for Skype for Business on Mac today. Skype for Business on Mac is the all new client that provides great communication experiences for Apple users.
