Installing the Verba Lync extension for Lync 2013
- Kiss, Mate
The Verba Lync Extension allows to control Lync conference recording directly in the Lync desktop client running Windows OS.
Client registry settings
The extension can be enabled by entering the following registry entries:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\ContextPackages]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\ContextPackages\{8551F06A-BCA1-40ED-A57F-04EE5E8C59A3}]"Name"="Meeting Recorder"
"InternalURL"="http://verbaMR.contoso.com/verba/silverlight/LyncMeetingRecorderExtension2010.jsp"
"ExternalURL"="http://verbaMR.contoso.com/verba/silverlight/LyncMeetingRecorderExtension2010.jsp"
"ExtensibilityWindowSize"=dword:00000001
Description of the fields:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the application. It is displayed in the Lync menu and at the bottom of the Extension window. |
| InternalURL ExternalURL | Specifies the application URL in the Microsoft Lync Server 2013 domain. The application automatically detects which URL to use, InternalURL or ExternalURL, based on the client location. |
| ExtensibilityWindowSize | Sets the minimum size of the extension window. 0 = small (300 x 200 pixels), 1 = medium (400 x 600 pixels), 2 = large (800 x 600 pixels). |

Adding the server to Trusted Sites
In addition to applying the configuration to the local registry on the client computers, the http://verbaMR.contoso.com address needs to be added to the Trusted Sites. Lync 2013 has its own location for trusted sites in the registry. This means that you cannot add the server to Trusted Site using Internet Explorer / Internet Options (like in Lync 2010); you need to use a separate registry key. The format for the registry key looks like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\Security\Trusted Sites]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\Security\Trusted Sites\verbaMR.contoso.com]
"https"=dword:00000001
"http"=dword:00000000
This sample indicates that https://verbaMR.contoso.com will be trusted. If the same URL with HTTP should be trusted, then flip the “http” part to a 1.
