Enabling Skype for Business in Prysm Go

Skype for Business in the Prysm Go experience relies on the use of Skype for Business room resources. The following sections describe configuration requirements in Skype for Business and Prysm.

Note: In some cases, the Skype video camera does not return as expected when turned off and then back on. To resolve, mute the Skype microphone until the incoming video feed is displayed, then unmute the microphone. For details, see STRM-784.
ClosedProvisioning a Skype Room System account

In your Microsoft Office 365 account, provision a Skype Room System account. The Skype Room System account will become the Room Account (see Enhancements — Skype For Business) with which you connect to Prysm’s Skype For Business in Prysm Go.

See Microsoft’s article for more information and instructions: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt691570.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396.

Note:

Skype for Business room resources require that a room's audio devices use a Microsoft-compliant Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) peripheral. Therefore, Skype for Business in Prysm Go might not function correctly if you do not follow these steps:

  1. Go to Microsoft's article at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn788953.
  2. Download SkypeCertification_V6.3.2_and8.3.1.zip, which includes CSpec_ACC_Audio_v8.3.1_FINAL.pdf.
  3. In CSpec_ACC_Audio_v8.3.1_FINAL.pdf, read Section 1.2 to ensure you have a Microsoft-compliant Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) peripheral, and connect that peripheral to the Prysm-enabled display's audio devices in rooms where you use Skype for Business in Prysm Go.
ClosedConfiguring settings in Prysm Admin Portal

After completing the preceding configuration in your Office 365 account, complete these steps in Prysm Admin Portal:

  1. From the Deployments page, use the Search field to find the desired deployment, and click Edit.
    The Edit Deployment page is displayed.
  2. Click Enhancements.
  3. Click Skype For Business.
    The Edit Skype For Business Settings page displays.
  4. In the Enable Skype For Business Integration field, set the toggle to ON.
    Note: The Enable Skype For Business Integration setting must be ON for Skype For Business in Prysm Go to work.
  5. In the Enable Lync Button field, set the toggle to OFF.
  6. In the Lync Path field, keep the default setting.
  7. In the Enable Skype For Business in Quick Start field, set the toggle to ON.
    When this toggle is ON, Prysm display users see the room's schedule on the left side of the Welcome screen. (This feature is also known as Skype For Business in Prysm Go.)
  8. In the Room Account Sign In Address field, enter the email address that you created for the room when you provisioned the Skype Room System Account (see Provisioning a Skype Room System Account).
    A room’s email address is in this format: ConferenceRoom01@domain.com.
  9. In the Room Account Username field, enter the user name that you created for the room when you provisioned the Skype Room System Account (see Provisioning a Skype Room System Account).
  10. In the Room Account Password field, enter the password that you created for the room when you provisioned the Skype Room System Account (see Provisioning a Skype Room System Account).
  11. Click Save.
Note: The Room Account information that you enter in Steps 8 through 10 enables Prysm Application Suite to automatically sign in to Skype For Business without having a user sign in, which is necessary for Prysm display users to have the convenience of clicking the room's schedule on the Welcome screen and joining a Skype For Business meeting.
ClosedEnabling TNEF in Skype For Business

In your Skype For Business account, enable Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) so that users at your partner companies (users not on your domain) can join your Skype For Business meetings when you invite them.

Note: To invite you to a meeting with a partner outside your domain, the Skype For Business account that invites you must have TNEF enabled. So your partner companies must enable TNEF, or you will not be able to join meetings that they create.
