How to join Skype for Business meeting on Ubuntu (without Skype for Business account)?












6















Following topic describes how I could connect to Skype for Business account under Linux:



Free software to connect to Skype for Business



However, what if I do not have a Skype for Business account?



I received an invitation to the meeting in form of the following URL:



https://meet.lync.com/SomeCompany/SomePerson/SomeID


I do not need to have a Skype for Business account to join such meeting.
On my Android phone, I just installed the appropriate application and when I click on the mentioned link, I can join after providing my name.



When I click on the link on the Linux machine, it redirects me to the page where msi file is downloaded.

          sorry to hear about your problems. There is no way that I know about to do this at the moment, and it is likely deliberate since the regular Skype runs on Linux as well as a web-based Skype version.



          This is on the "roadmap" for Microsoft, but I believe that is likely mostly to drive goodwill.



          In the near future, you may be able to run this via Wine. I checked with Codeweavers in St. Paul, MN and they are working on it; but the status for skype is "garbage" at the moment.



          here is some more information:
