Equipment
Needed
To use the voice communication capabilities of Lync, you'll need a telephone or a
headset. If you want to do video conferencing, you'll also need a webcam. If you
utilize Unicom Enterprise Voice, you can get a phone specially made for unified VoIP
communications. For information about telephones, headsets, and webcams that
UITS recommends, see the IU Knowledge Base article at
https://kb.iu.edu/data/awgk.html.
Testing the
Equipment
You can test your audio and video equipment from the Lync Menu button.
To set up audio and video:
1. Click the Lync Options button .
2. In the Options environment, choose either Audio Device or Video Device…
3. Choose the appropriate settings for your environment.
Note: when using UniCom Enterprise Voice, a shortcut appears at the base of the
Lync window. The Select Primary Device shortcut button may be found in
the lower left corner of the Lync window. Clicking on this button allows you to
choose from all audio enabled audio devices, and allows you to switch between
them rapidly.
