ThisВ article provides information on how to install Office Web Apps server and then configure integration with Lync Server 2013. In order to use these new capabilitiesВ we mustВ install Office Web Apps Server and configure Lync Server 2013 to communicate with Office Web Apps Server. Attendees and Presenters can now even share OneNote for individual or collaborative note taking during the Online Meeting. All this is done via Web Open Platform Interface (WOPI). When the Lync client views the presentation, it goes to the broadcast URL andВ the Office Web AppsВ server retrieves the file from the Data MCU and displays it in an embedded browser frame back to the Lync client.

When a presenter uploads a powerpoint file, it first gets uploaded to the Lync2013 Data MCU which then returns a broadcast URL back to the Lync client. This approach also allows mobile devices to access these presentations via the use of standard DHTML and JavaScript to broadcast PowerPoint presentations instead of customized DHTML and Silverlight as in Lync2010. Using the new Office WebВ Apps Server, users can present rich Powerpoint presentations with thumbnail-based slide navigation, video and audio multimedia playback with support for H.264 up to 20MBs and slide animations support.

The collaboration experience in Lync2013 is significantly improved over Lync2010 and this is largely due to the fact that Lync2013 now uses the Office Web Apps Server for content sharing and collaboration during Online Meetings.
