Opening Lync 2013 mobile client from a third-party iOS application

Question

I installed the Lync 2013 mobile client on iOS, and I know that the execution of the lync: // url scheme is as shown below

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"lync://"]]; 

will open the installed Lync application, but I would like to know more about other URL parameters that can be used in a custom URL scheme to perform other actions, for example,

• Automatic credential entry
• Open meeting URL

Answer 1

Currently, it is not possible.

Someone asked a question about Technet, which was really closely connected with you two years ago , and received an answer that URL parameters are not supported by the Lync client on iOS.

And here is another question about parameters with almost the same result.

It looks like you should send a feature request to Microsoft for this to happen.

Answer 2

The MSDN documentation lists all the URIs of the schema and parameters that you can pass.

For Lync 2010 you can use:

Lync: //

For Lync 2013, you can use any of the following:

Tel: [phone] → Only opens a telephone connection with [phone].

Callto: tel: + 14255550101 → Opens viewing only from the phone [phone].

Callto: sip: [e-mail] → Only opens browsing from the phone with the [e-mail]

sip: [e-mail] → Opens a dialog with the [e-mail]

conf: sip: https://meet.contoso.com/name/7322994

Details can be found on MSDN here.

Answer 3

 [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"sip://"]];
