Watch UniCom at Indiana University

UniCom, IU’s term for unified communications, uses Microsoft Lync to bring voice, video, and data together in a unified desktop communication system, providing instant messaging (IM), telephony, email, desktop sharing, and audio/video conferencing.

Download Lync clients for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows Phone, or use Outlook Web App. Start with IM and setting your "presence" and then decide from there what other options you'd like to use such as desktop sharing and -- with the right equipment -- making audio and video calls, and even replacing your phone.
