Work Smart: Use Lync 2010 Attendee

Microsoft® Lync™ 2010 Attendee is a conferencing client that allows users who don’t have Microsoft® Lync™ 2010 communications software installed, to participate in Lync 2010 online meetings.

Get started

Lync 2010 Attendee is a client that you can use to join a meeting when you don’t have Lync 2010. If the support team in your organization hasn’t already installed and set up Attendee, you can install it before you join a meeting, or you can optionally download and install as part of the joining a meeting process. If you join as a guest user rather than an authenticated user, some meeting capabilities might be restricted to you.

If, after installation, you go directly to the Start menu on a computer that runs a Windows® operating system to access Attendee, you are presented with setup options for General, Personal, Ringtones and Sounds, Audio Device, and Video Device.

Once you’ve completed the getting started tasks, you’ll be ready to join a meeting.

Get ready for voice

If you have a microphone and speakers, you’re ready to use Attendee to talk and listen when in online meetings. You can also plug in any device recommended by your organization, such as a USB headset, or USB phone or handset. Attendee automatically configures the settings, depending on the device that you connect.

You can check or adjust your audio settings before the meeting by clicking Start, clicking All Programs, clicking Microsoft Lync 2010 Attendee, and then clicking Audio Device from Options. You can customize your devices by using the slider in a device selection, moving it left to decrease volume or right to increase it.
