UISuppressionMode in registry not affecting Lync Client


I am using custom C# Lync 2013 client with a sever i just recently setup. I need to develop a custom Lync Client that allows audio video conference. I found a really well explained demo here.

Looking in the code i found discovered that i had to run the Lync Client in UISuppressionMode to allow the new C# Client to view the videos. So i did some searches and found it was a key in the registry that had to be edited/created. And so i did as i found in this video. I started Lync and added the registry entry at the good place for Lync 2013.

After, it needed to be closed and restarted.

But the Client UI started, like i had not changed a thing. I have been working on this for hours without any fixes. I will post it on the Lync's forum too, wishing for the best.

UPDATE:

From MSDN :

You can set the Lync 2013 suppression mode when you install the Lync client. At the command prompt, start the Lync installation .exe with a command-line argument in the following table.

I tried using the Office install for Lync online with that command, and the arguments isn't valid.

Setup.exe /FullUisuppression

I downloaded Lync Basic client from the Windows Download center. Didn't work either.

lyncentry.exe /FullUisuppression

UPDATE 2:

I changed the Lync Client version to 2010 and the UiSuppresionMode works perfecly fine, but the demo i found uses the 2013 sdk. It can't find the LyncClient even if its running. I found another demo which uses the 2010 sdk and works fine. The documenting of 2010 is not really complete, or it might be almost the same as the 2013 sdk. I will look forward into the 2010 version but i would prefer the 2013 to be working.


Solution

  • Lync 2013 reads the setting for UISuppressionMode from a different registry key than Lync 2010. Since it works with 2010, but not 2013, I assume you use the wrong key. Try [HKEY_CURRENT_USER]\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\UISuppressionMode.
