Lync 2013 / SfB 2015 Client Update – January 2016

This January update (Kb3114502) takes the Office 2013-based Lync/SfB client from 15.0.4779.1001 to 15.0.4787.1001.

What’s Fixed

This update fixes the following issues:

  • Kb3128747 Video is missing in a Skype for Business 2015 meeting recording after the December 2015 security update 3114351 is installed
  • Kb3121276 Title bar displays “Lync” after you install the November 2015 update for Lync 2013 (Skype for Business 2015)

  • Kb3132305 “An unknown participant is now joining” message is displayed in a transferred call in Lync 2013 (Skype for Business)
  • Kb3132304 The Lync 2013 (Skype for Business) user interface of a call monitor flashes constantly
  • Kb3114687 “The address type is not valid” error when you sign in to Lync 2013 (Skype for Business) by using domain\username format

What’s New / Changed

None documented.

Known Issues

  • Kb3051158 “Help isn’t working” error occurs when you open the “Skype for Business Help” window in Skype for Business
  • Kb3051160 Cannot join meetings by using Lync 2010 after you install OneDrive for Business
  • Kb3053998 Memory leak occurs when you transfer a file that is larger than 5 megabytes (MB) in a conversation in Skype for Business

Pre-Req’s

A few people have found their recent updates haven’t delivered as expected. Don’t forget *all* of the pre-req’s. The Office 2013 SP1 requirement still applies if you’re using Outlook 2010. (Lync 2013 in all of its flavours – e.g. Lync Basic – is still a component of Office 2013).
