If you have Lync running from a computer you can also enable screensharing so the other caller(s) can view what you are doing on your computer. We have it installed at my workplace. It's great

• By Carl Weinschenk | Sep 14, 2010• The rebranding of Microsoft's unified communications suite is

important as a milestone for the company. The idea that the company aims to support enterprise communications and collaboration without a PBX is not new, but the move to Lync and the release candidate signals that the company's resolve is not flagging

• In March, Pall also predicted that over the next three years, unified communications technology like Lync will overtake legacy PBX-style voice communications, with over 50 percent of business VoIP calls including more media than simply voice.
