Skype presence information not visible in Outlook

Hi,

When you install Microsoft Skype on a Windows-based computer that has Microsoft Lync installed, you experience one or more of the following issues:

Microsoft Outlook does not display presence information.
The Microsoft SharePoint client does not display presence information.
Other Microsoft Office applications that support presence features do not display presence information

This behavior may occur if the value of the DefaultIMApp registry entry in the following registry key is incorrect:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IM Providers

Note The DefaultIMApp registry entry specifies which IM application provides IM and presence information in Office applications. When you install the Lync 2010 client together with Microsoft Office, the value of the DefaultIMApp registry entry is updated to “Communicator.”  Or, if you install the Lync 2013 client together with Microsoft Office, the value of the DefaultIMApp registry entry is updated to “Lync.”
To work around this issue, follow the steps that are appropriate for the version of Windows that you are running.

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7

Exit the Skype client and all Office applications.
Click Start, click Run, type regedit.exe, and then click OK.
Locate the following registry entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IM Providers\DefaultIMApp registry value
Right-click DefaultIMApp, and then click Modify.
Type Skype in the Value data box, and then click OK.
Exit Registry Editor, and then restart  the Skype client and the Office applications.

Windows 8

On the Start screen, click the Search tile.
Type regedit in the Search window and then double-click regedit.exe.
Locate the following registry entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IM Providers\DefaultIMApp registry value
Right-click DefaultIMApp, and then click Modify.
Type Skype in the Value data box, and then click OK.
Exit Registry Editor, and then restart  the Skype client and the Office applications

Hope this helps

  • Hello

    The self education industry is a $355 Million per day industry and is expected to TRIPLE in the next 5 years! And with the right strategy this could be your opportunity to:

    Get in early before it is oversaturated.

    Help others go faster while you get paid.

    Fix a broken system.

    Make an impact on the world.

    Get paid for a skill, hobby, passion or expertise you already have (or get paid from someone else’s)

    And Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson and Dean Graziosi are finally going to show YOU how to take advantage of it…

    (Now if you don’t already know who these 3 guys are then you’ll want to listen up!! They’ve impacted millions of lives and have generated billions of dollars)

    Look, if you’ve ever thought about (or even if you never thought about) getting paid for something you know (like a passion or a skill)… or even getting paid from what others know, then you have to attend.

    This is one of the fastest growing industries online and in all areas of the world.

    And for the first time ever they’re doing a webclass training on how to extract your wisdom (or somebody else’s) and get other people to pay you for it!

    You can save your spot here (and when you do register, you’re immediately going to get a brand new, never before seen training from Tony and Dean. No one else will ever get a chance to see this rare training except for us).

    After hearing what they’re teaching, I truly believe this is the #1 way to make a massive income, make a massive impact on the world and leave a legacy!

    And here’s just a fraction of what you’ll learn this week:

    The mostly hidden $129 Billion dollar market and how you can make a massive impact and leave a legacy by profiting from it.

    The KBB Triangle: The 3 ways to profit (whether you’re an expert with a thriving business, just getting started, or even if you’re at complete rock bottom)

    The framework to profit from what you (or someone else) already knows – or by creating community and bringing people together.

    There’s no other time where you’re going to have this opportunity. So BE THERE! Because if you’re not going to make a shift in your life now, then when? And if not with these guys, then let me ask with who?

    This is your rare chance to learn from 3 people who started from nothing and went on to generate billions of dollars and build massive companies.
