Lync 2013 SDK ActivityID for "In a conference call" and "In a meeting


The Lync 2013 SDK has some pretty non-intuitive ActivityID strings used as "identifiers" for the built-in availabilities.

Here are the ones I have deciphered:

  • Available - "Free"
  • Busy - "Busy"
  • In a call - "on-the-phone"
  • In a meeting - ???
  • In a conference call - ???
  • Presenting - "in-presentation"
  • Do not disturb - "DoNotDisturb"
  • Be right back - "BeRightBack"
  • Inactive - "Inactive"
  • Away - "Away"
  • Off work - "off-work"

I have been unable to discover the ActivityId for either "In a meeting" or "In a conference call" because they require Exchange Server and Office Web Apps Server, respectively, neither of which I have readily available to me at the moment.

Does anyone know what these two missing strings are?


Solution

  • Okay. I decided to write a simple Lync SDK client that would allow me to try setting the Availability, and I was able to discover the missing IDs through trial-and-error. For posterity, they are:

    • In a meeting - "in-a-meeting"
    • In a conference call - "in-a-conference"
