Peer-to-Peer desktop sharing issues for Skype for Business for iOS users

Symptoms

When you try to start a desktop sharing session in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) instant message (IM) or in a P2P audio conversation with a Microsoft Skype for Business for iOS user, you experience the following symptoms:

• Users of Skype for Business for iOS receive the following notification:

  "UserA tried to start a screen presentation, but this version of the app only supports that in conference calls and Skype Meetings."

• Users of Skype for Business Desktop receive the following notification:

  "The invitation you sent to UserB expired."

When you try to start a desktop sharing session in a P2P video conversation with a Skype for Business for iOS user, you experience the following symptoms:

• Users of Skype for Business for iOS do not notify that the desktop user tried to start a desktop sharing session.
• Skype for Business Desktop users receives the following notification: The invitation you sent to UserB expired.

Cause

This issue occurs because desktop sharing is currently supported for Skype for Business iOS users only in a Skype for Business conference. This is the same behavior that occurs in Microsoft Lync 2013 for iOS.

Status

This feature will be available in a future Skype for Business for iOS update.
