Archived instructions:
As part of our Office 365 service with Microsoft, UMass Boston is offering Microsoft Lync, a communications tool that includes audio and video calls, group calls, screen sharing, and remote presentations.
Setting up Microsoft Lync
To download Lync (2010 or 2013 for Windows, 2011 for Mac), sign in to your web mail (webmail.umb.edu). In the web mail interface, click the Settings menu (Gear icon) at the top right and choose “Office 365 Settings,” (see image, right) and then click 'Software'. Download the latest version of Lync for your computer.
There is a brief video describing Lync and how to download it on LinkedIn Learning (log in with your UMass Boston email address and password.)
Once you have installed Lync, start it up and go to Tools > Options from the gear menu at the top (see below.)
Your sign in address is your email address. After that field, click Advanced. Enter the following as both the Internal Server and the External Server:
sipdir.online.lync.com:443
Click OK twice and try to sign in. If you are told you need to install additional software, click the “Download and Install” link and run the program, which is called msoidcli.msi (see below). It is apparently safe to install this software (Microsoft Online Services Sign In Assistant). Even though it comes from a non-MS website, it is in fact Microsoft software. (Msecnd.net is one of Microsoft Online Services trusted sites, according to Microsoft.)
Once you are logged in, you can change your online status (the default is “Available”) and type in your location. They suggest “Work,” but I typed in “IT Service Desk, Healey 3rd Floor.” It is simply a text field. Make sure Lync is set to “Show Others My Location,” which seems to only show or hide what you type in as your location, not determine your actual location. Your location and other information only show up on your contact card, not in the search results.
Using Microsoft Lync
To use Lync, type in someone’s name where it says “Find a Contact” and each search result will include that person’s availability and options to email, chat, or call that person.
By default, your call will be audio only. To video conference, choose “Add Video” from the Video menu.

Updating your photo
In webmail, click the Gear menu at the top right and choose Options. At the bottom of the Options screen, click 'Edit information.' In the Account Information popup window, click the Change button to change or add a photo for your account. Click Browse and select the photo you want to use.
Mobile devices
The instructions for downloading Lync for your mobile device will vary depending on your device and version. You'll need to find and download Lync from your device's preferred app location. The iPhone and iPad versions are available at the App store, for instance. You may find more info at the Webmail location, as well.
You'll still use your UMass Boston address as your user ID but the server name for the handful of mobile devices we've tested was this:
