Feature |
Description |
---|---|
Chat room add-in |
The add-in application feature lets you create a Silverlight add-in application that is hosted in a Lync 2013 host chat room. The hosting chat room starts one associated add-in in a window extension when a user opens the chat room window. The Lync 2013 API gives the hosted add-in access to the room and all message history in the room. This includes message text entered by the local user before it's posted to the room. This pending message text can be intercepted and altered or canceled. |
Custom chat room |
When Lync 2013 is running in UI suppression mode, you can still provide a chat room feature to a signed-in user. The API allows you to create a full chat room experience including a room participation list, access to all messages posted to a room, and message posting. |
